We don't get sparrows either, but they do in town. I think its too much competition and threat from the bigger meat eating birds. I forgot we also get ibis here. Funny story! A friend from NZ was visiting and a bunch of Ibis flew over making their terrible noise. When they landed in the backyard, our visitor was horrified and said, "I have nivva seen such an ugly burd un my life"! Lol
We have had owls here also, but as it has been dark, its a bit hard to tell what kind. They just go "Thump" in the night as they land on the gutters.
