These sparrows are very adorable, cute, shy. They also don't sit still for long...very chanchal by nature. But they always reward me with precious photos which give me lot of happiness and peace of mind. I found some interesting facts about these little beauties:
1. They like powedered biscuits and rice grains a lot. They love dried Tulsi seeds but don't eat the fresh seeds.
2. They are wary of people. Before drinking water from the trolley kept in the garden they look carefully all around, then dip their beak in the water and drink. Once convinced, they dive and enjoy their bath.
3. They can't tolerate heat. I have seen them panting in the heat and when they see the water they are delighted. They sit under the sunshade and clean themselves throughly. This also helps them to cool off. In extreme heat, sparrows tend to suffer from heat stroke and some also die.
4. Sparrows are like children.....very innocent, shy, delicate and also scared of any new thing or persons. They need to be taken care of. Citizens should feed them and if they have built a nest in your house, they should consider themselves lucky and protect it from corws, monkeys & other intruders. Only then will future generations be aware of house sparrows and also see them.
5.Another thing I have seen is that they can't tolerate noise. When some soft music is played or shlokas are chanted, they sit quietly. It looks as if they are listening to the music or shlokas and enjoying it. But when there are arguements & people talk in loud voice, lot of noise from vehicles, they become restless and keep fluttering to various places.
6. Clean your garden regularly and dig the soil well. The worms, insects will come to the surface and provide source of food for the sparrows.
7. Sparrows like to eat the flowers and seeds in weeds.
Of course when the sparrows are hungry and they don't find any biscuits, grains or eatables scattered for them, they eat the Hibiscus flower buds. Have pecked all the Hibiscus buds yesterday in the garden. It's a bit irritating.

I remember as a child sparrows would form a part of our life and our house. many a times they had made nest in our house. Would love their chirping. It was very soothing to hear them around.

Rani Branch Road,Paikpara Kolkata - 2 ( Residential Colony) Gangulipara, Paikpara Kolkata West Bengal
One morning i was preparing for office,i saw a sparrow couple hoovering around here n there ( as if in search of something)
After observing tem for few minutes,i understood ( from my experience with birds since childhood),that they are looking for a place to make a nest.
I found myself helpless at that moment,but soon an idea striked me,I took an Empty shoe box,cut an appropriate hole at one side & sealed the top.then i tied the box at the top of the grill(within shed) of my balcony & left for the day.
I started observing the box & waited the sparrows to accept it,but after few days
I got dissapointed until one evening when i spotted some traces of dry grass in the floor right below the box,
excitements ran through me,next morning i saw the sparrow couple coming out & going in with dry grass in their
beaks & I understood that they have accepted the box & making a nest in it.
I was so HAPPY that I cant explain,Money cannot buy this happiness.
Now they are settled & i am hoping the babies to come out soon.
I think every bird lover (Infact every human being) should try & do something for these lovely creatures.
I would also like to participate in any such initiatives again,Please fee free to be in touch.
