They like the older type of eaves in buildings for nesting, also gutterings with holes or gaps, and as older properties disappear, together with their favoured habitats such as privet hedges and ivy, so do the sparrows - new developments don't offer the same features. They'll cling to their small territories until the territories are uprooted, and when change occurs around them they tend to get marooned on their little islands of green so you can find them in some isolated pockets of green in very odd places in our large cities. I suspect that generations of sparrows have probably lived in Drury Lane since the Middle Ages. House sparrows have very small territories and generally don’t stray far from their birthplace.
