Nest Site Interference Competition between House Sparrow Couples for Breeding

Competition between various species for breeding grounds is a common phenomenon. Intraspecific competition among male House Sparrow Passer domesticus occurs for breeding spaces or for territory dominance. We have noticed Intraspecific interference competition during our studies of Nest Box occupancy and breeding activities. This was observed at nest box: 355 during our conservation studies at Jangareddigudem, when that nest box was occupied by another couple of house sparrows. It clearly indicates that there is more demand for the breeding spaces for the new generations.
