Sparrows inhabiting rufous hornero "houses" - Belo Horizonte, MG Brazil

View from my backyard, of the neighbor's house roof. The baby sparrows are inhabiting rufous hornero (Furnarius rufus) "houses". These are natural nests, probably collected in the "wild" by the neighbors and added as ornaments in their house. The tiny birds occupied it.

      These are not sparrows, they look like they may be swallows.

      Yeah, after some searches, I think you're right. I didn't even imagine swallows were hanging out near my house... Never saw one nearby.
