Two birds that are very common in the city, and that people tend to confuse, are the tico-tico and the sparrow. The tico-tico has an orange nape and some black stripes on its head. The sparrow, no. Oh, a tip! If the sparrow has a black spot on its throat (some people call it a tie) it means it is male. If not, it's a female, which is also a little lighter than the male.
