It was half a joke, Emma. Extirpation is extinction in a particular area. I was just implying that House Sparrows are so populated, "extinction" is an odd term to apply to them. ;)

Liam ,don't extinct and extirpated mean nearly the same thing?
In big cities like Bombay,there is a sharp decline due to microwaves etc.

Extinct? Or extirpated? I can't see House Sparrows going "extinct" in anyway. ;D

In some parts of the world they are becoming extinct.

Thank you Cammie. I never tire of seeing them. They are fluffy here and have very rich colors.
