The Fox Sparrow is much larger than other sparrows and might at first be mistaken for a thrush but note the thick, conical bill.

Comment: "Hi Maria Luisa. I managed to figure out that the names of the birds had been slightly misspelt in the original text. They should have read "zarro" and "borrelho". I found them in this excellent glossary: http://www.bsc-eoc.org/avibase/avibase.jsp?pg=home&lang=EN. I'm really annoyed that I spent so long looking for the wrong thing, and wasted your time... sorry about that! The translations are "pochard" (zarro) and "plover" (borrelha). Anyway, have four points for your efforts, and thank you very much! Obrigada :)"
