This a green and quiet space, i see many birds of different types in my garden, but very few house sparrows. As a child, house sparrows were very common and we hardly got excited seeing them. They made nest in our house, behind photo frames, and ventilation spaces. They would often come and peck at their own image in our mirror at home. Today, we see very few and never inside the house. In my garden i have placed a wooden box hoping it would attract birds.For two years it was vacant and found no takers! But i am happy to notice, that finally it appears to have found some buyers... i have noticed that just recently there is dried grass being colleced in the box... i am excited and i wait to see what will happen in the next few days.

I am lucky enough that in this area there are plenty of sparrows, even though there seems some decline in their population, but still we are lucky n happy that every day we do hear their chirping. Often we see them sitting on the branch of trees, wires, grills of houses, etc.
My experience is very good. Every day I do keep water n grains for them. Some time it takes them the whole day to finish those stuff, or else they finishes that within 1 hour or so. At times I have observed as many as 20-25 sparrows sitting on the grill of my house n chirping. I do feed them 2-3 times a day. N guess what, when there is nothing to eat n drink, they chirping is much much louder as though telling me that they are here n want some thing to eat n drink.
But I admit, there is a decline in there population. When I was a small kid, I do remember there use to be many many sparrows in our locality. Now at present they are comparatively less.
Nowadays there nests are also seen a bit rarely, n I think its because of modernization of our living. Earlier there use to be those wooden windows, sparrows use to find it very easy to built up the nest there. But nowadays we use those sliding windows n all, hence its very difficult for them to built there nest.
