The Grasshopper Sparrow is a colourful small yellowish-bird that is distinguished by its large curled bill. It is known for its buzzy songs and its preference for weedy fields. These sparrows form colonies, so, where there is one seen, there are probably more. Their main diet are seeds and insects. This sparrow has been reported seen in Cuba.
