One of the things I found fascinating in Thailand is that the sparrows hopping around the cities are Tree Sparrows, rather than the familiar (to me) House Sparrows. I read somewhere that Chairman Mao tried to exterminate the Tree Sparrow in China (to little effect) because they were deemed as vermin they are so common.
