Sparrows, also known as ricebirds, are a species in the Magical Vacation series. They inhabit various planes in the universe, as well as Carbonara Jungle on Gren.
Profile
Based off of the real life Java rice bird, sparrows are passerine birds whose appearances are determined by which plane they come from. Sparrows from the Material Plane and Light Plane have white feathers, while those from the Dark Plane and Death Plane have black and gray feathers. Most are cursed to speak in tweets and chirps, though some can speak the common language. Black-feathered sparrows often stay grounded to one spot, and refuse to move unless Cidre uses his special power. On Gren, sparrows of the white-feathered variety inhabit the fourth bridge of Clam River in Carbonara Jungle. Sparrows enjoy simple things like sleeping and bathing.

Trivia
- On the Valencia Beach campgrounds map in Magical Vacation, there is a logo in the bottom left corner that reads "Risebird Village & Spa", incorrectly Anglicizing the word "ricebird". This is likely due to the Japanese cognate of "ricebird" being ライスバード raisubādo, as seen on the signboard near the cabins.
- The Sparrow Father (文鳥のオヤジ Bunchō no Oyaji) and Sparrow Wife (文鳥のカミさん Bunchō no Kamisan) who run the Sparrow Onsen are the only sparrows in the series who speak the common language.
