• The Eurasian tree sparrow in Central and Eastern Asia, Kazakhstan, and southern Siberia prefers settlements and central parts of cities, unlike in Europe. In these regions, it is more attracted to settlements than to natural areas.

Eurasian tree sparrows are found within the Nearctic and Palearctic biogeographical regions, inhabiting Celtic broadleaf forests, broadleaf forests of Western Europe, coniferous forests of the Qilian Mountains, Balkan mixed forests, Baltic mixed forests, and coniferous and mixed forests of the Pyrenees.
