Sparrows are seed eaters, members of the fringillidae. They are somewhat smaller than swallows, and most species are a brown or brown streaked in color. The swallow family are insect eaters, and swift acrobatic flyers. They are very colorful birds, with the cliff and barn swallows being among our most beautiful birds.

Swallows typically have longer, pointed wings and forked tails, while sparrows have shorter, rounded wings and shorter tails. Swallows are known for their aerial acrobatics and feed on insects caught in flight, while sparrows are ground-feeding birds that eat seeds and grains. Swallows often have more vibrant plumage compared to the more subdued colors of sparrows.
