Perhaps someone heard of a strange bird “a sparrow is a camel.” Nothing to do with the sparrow, this bird has, and no kind of passerine is.
This is the name of the famous ostrich, which in translation means “a sparrow is a camel”. All kinds of passerines have some features, but the main characteristic of this bird is peculiar to everyone.
