On the meat scavenging behavior of House Sparrows (Passer domesticus)

The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2020
Behavioral plasticity can drive feeding innovations, a frequent trait of urban exploiter species. The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a widespread and abundant urban dweller whose success has often been related to its dietary breadth.

The causative effects of corticosterone on innate immunity during the stress response in the House Sparrow, Passer domesticus.

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2019
Stress-induced inhibition of innate immune activity has been observed in a variety of wild birds and may increase chances of infection because this activity constitutes the first line of defense against pathogens.
