The denizens of 2ch share their love for animals with a spontaneous outburst of “suzume” images, suzume referring to the Eurasian Tree Sparrow, Passer Montanus, particularly its Japanese variation.

check Yes, show me everything
Someone shoved that last one in the drainer hole!
Obviously this is a long dead thread, but image #12 is actually a male House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) and not a Eurasian Tree Sparrow. Notice the black breast (not just the black “chin”) and the grey head (not solid brown). You can’t see the face since it’s shaking it’s head, but if you could you see light grey cheeks, rather than the black cheek patches of the Eurasian Tree Sparrow. There are other physical differences, but those are the key field marks to look for when differentiating between Eurasian Tree and House sparrows.
House Sparrows are incredibly rare in Japan, but both species are common to abundant in western Europe. The Eurasian Tree Sparrow is entirely absent from the new world, except from the St. Louis metro area into Illinois from about Macon County to the east and McLean county to the north. Though, vagrants can occur anywhere from about 200-300 miles from St. Louis proper.
Not that anyone cares, however.
