COMMON NAME: Giant Talon Sparrow
BASE ORGANISM: American Tree Sparrow
ORIGINAL NICHE: Small Insect Predator
CHARACTERISTICS OF ORIGINAL ORGANISM: 5-6 inches in length, brown and grey and white, conical beak, forked tail.
NEW NICHE: Dominant Air Predator (Diurnal)
ADAPTATIONS OF ORGANISM TO NEW NICHE: Due to more food available, the sparrow grew larger, and also gained sharper and stronger claws to make it easier to attack animals. Their wings also grew a little longer, so they could fly better, and they received a shorter tail to be less obvious and a little faster. The head and beak also flattened to make the sparrow a little faster and aerodynamic.

ORGANISM INTERACTIONS: only prey if sick or young, female builds large nests for 4-5 eggs, predator to any animal that is unsheltered.
