House Sparrow and Tree Sparrow, "The Odd Couple"

Video below of a House Sparrow nest being attended by a female House Sparrow and a Tree Sparrow of unknown gender. I'm not sure if they are a couple, if the Tree Sparrow is acting as an "auntie" or is a broody male. I've watched both birds taking food into the nest, each spending some time brooding, changeovers, both in the nest together and both flying off together to forage. The clip is two edits from seven clips I took today spliced crudely together.
