Purasaiwalakm in Muthu street present name and old name Muthu Muthali street. Perumalpet, Purasavakkam Chennai Tamil Nadu
During the said period i was living in my grand mothers home, i was less than 10 years old. Almost every house have a sparrow nest and lot of birds used to fly every where. The nest are even built inside the living room on the ceiling which used to be Madras terrace those days with wooden beams. In between 2 beams some kind of bar used to be there to hang fans, lights and so on. This place was used by sparrows to built the nest. Also the elders used to scare so much to remove the nest with the belief if they disturb the nest then the family will be split as well, also they believed that this is a good sign of family to begin like if the sparrow starts building nest that family will get into marriage to the eligible members in the family and getting conceived like that.
The only enemy to the sparrows those days was cat, crow and narikuravas all of them hunt this for food.
Also i have seen sparrows in almost all the tiled houses and due to the tiles it got enough space to build the nest.
I worked in Iran for the last 4 years in a place called Kish which is very hot and moderately cold during winter due to desert climates but i have seen lot of sparrows every where which used to remind me of my younger days.
Even those days when the construct new houses they used to provide one narrow hole on the wall where sparrows, and green parrots used to nest.
For the food i never remember of any one feeding them but it feeds on its own mostly the food used to be taken from roof tops or kept under sun light for drying.
Recently i watch some birds or taking rest under the new metro rail construction because it is tall pillars and very good shade and have enough room between the pillar top to the other structure comes on top if this place is properly monitored and provide with small ply woods with narrow holes it may increase the population other wise it will be hunted by crows.

Railwayline main road Near Bharathiar I.T.I Dharmapuri Tamil Nadu
These sparrows used to come in groups of 30 to 60 and sat in a small bush near my house in the morning and evening. My wife used to throw some foodgrains in front of my house in the street. In the beginning the sparrows did not mind. Slowly they started to come and sit in front of the house in groups of 3 to 6 and ate the grains.When days passed they started to come in groups of 20 to 50 and started eating the grains. After few months I could not see them. Now a days I dont find them in groups.I could rarely watch one or two sparrows in the morning .Where did they go?

Last year a pair of sparrows built a nest in the exhaust fan of bathroom in our house. We stopped using the exhaust fan and were very glad of our new guests. I started observing the sparrows.

in our home we have one golden arali tree which flowers in yellow.I used to see many sparrows in day time. I think its because its safest place also yellow flowers attracted house sparrows.Also i noticed that in our bathroom i observed a nest..so we can conclude sparrows like a place where human movement is less..we used to have water in open buckets in nearby areas.Thus in our house sparrow feels safer, gets shelter , water and food...we never disturbed them ..once a little sparrow fell down ..so we again laid it on the nest....
don't dismantle the sparrow's nest.it will have bad reactions in our family lives also..our ancestors used to say that sparrows wont put nest at all places .if you have nest in our home,you are lucky..something good will happen to our family..they are also god's creatures !..they know well the rainy season or unwanted changes in climate..so knowing this, immediately they will reach their nest safely.Who knows in our next birth , we may be a house sparrow!!!!lets save our ancestors!!!!march 20 is my birthday and also house sparrow's birthday!!!!,....i celebrated my birth day with hose sparrows!!!!
