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.
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.
"Chairman Mao Zedong of China attempted in April 1958 to reduce crop damage by Tree Sparrows, estimated at 4.5 kg (9.9 lb) of grain per bird each year, by mobilising three million people and many scarecrows to drive the birds to death by exhaustion. Although initially successful, the "great sparrow campaign" had overlooked the numbers of locusts and other insect pests consumed by the birds, and crop yields fell, exacerbating a famine which led to the deaths of 30 million people between 1959 and 1961."
Let's see now... 300,000 people died during the so-called "Nanking Massacre" vs. the deaths of 30,000,000 people as the result of Chairman Mao's most glorious campaign to kill sparrows. LOL.
...and yet the Chinese have still the wet dream to suck Chairman Mao's already-embalmed cock lol.
They had inflicted more shit to themselves than the invading Japanese, yet they don't want to condemn how Chairman Mao fucked up the entire country and they rather put more blame to the Japanese.
Nice tits.
We have a lot of those flying in our country, they were once our countries national bird, which were called "maya".
But it was change to the Philippine Monkey-Eating Eagle. I wonder why?
I was wondering if there will be a trap and then I saw last picture xD LMAO
I can't tell which one is the trap.
28, 36 and upper right of 18 are not traps. All others could be traps...
Mischievous Suzume XD

I've always said Mao is the worst thing ever to happen to modern China.

And your blind weeaboo love for Japan makes you disregard their war crimes, yes?
