Shomoro

Shomoro ni ndege wadogo wa jenasi Passer katika familia ya Passeridae ambao wana rangi ya nyeusi, nyeupe, majivu na kahawia. Ndege hawa huitwa korobindo pia, lakini jina hili litumike afadhali kwa kuita ndege wa jenasi Petronia. Shomoro wenye kichwa kijivu huitwa jurawa. Ndege hawa wana domo fupi na nene lifaalo kula mbegu, lakini hula wadudu wadogo pia hasa wanapokuwa vifaranga. Kwa asili shomoro wanatokea Ulaya, Afrika na Asia, lakini watu wamewaletea Australia na Marekani.
