yep!
"Sparrows, chickens, pigeons, ducks, shearwaters, albatrosses, kiwi, and vultures have a sense of smell. Physiologists can record electrical impulses transmitted through the bird's olfactory nerves, proving that these birds can smell. "

What kind of sparrows are you doing a report on? When most people mention sparrow, they are usually referring to the House Sparrow, which is not really a sparrow at all. They are in the weaver family.

They make mud nests and the are black and blue and I think red I cant really see...


I have not started to research because I also have a science report and I have been doing that!
