DTC Bus Terminus Sector 33A Noida Uttar Pradesh
Delhi Transport Corporation DTC Bus Terminus (abandoned), Sector 33A Noida. This abandoned DTC bus terminus built about twenty years back has 9 bays for accommodating a maximum of 18 buses (9 on either side). It is an RCC framed structure with horizontal RCC roof. Underside of the roof (ceiling) has about one hundred embedded electric boxes, uniformly distributed, for fixing lights and fans. Presently only 4 or 5 boxes are fitted with old rusting tube lights and rest have all been taken over by sparrows for building nests. There are at least 20 active nests and at any time at least 15 sparrows can be spotted around these nests. This is a very busy, congested area as Railway Reservation Office, Road Transport Office and Sub Registrar’s Office hem the place and only one side opens out to the main road. Exactly below the roof of this shed are few eating places, photocopy shops and numerous table-chair-and-a-type-writer type makeshift notary offices. A green park with running water and tall trees abuts this bus stand; overall a good habitat for nesting sparrows. If this not-in-use bus stand is demolished then these birds will be forced to find a new nesting place.

Some people used to feed sparrows regularly. They got so used to it that they started feeding at hand.

I am living in a rented Apartment (2 story ) from June-2010 @ Saragam Society , Lane #01, near Kakade City , Waraje Naka, Pune -52.
I used to listen to House Sparrow Chirping in morning. And hence started to keep rice and water in my gallery's window. I waited for more than 4 months, but Sparrows never used to come there. But , from last 1 year they are my like my family members who dine in my gallery. Now they have become a little fearless.
Initially there were 4-6 Sparrows. But in last Diwali vacations, when we came back from our native place there were only 2 of them (1 male and 1 Female).
I was so upset that I thought it was my fault that I didn't put enough of seeds to feed them.
I saw yesterday morning 3 Males and 2 Females and now very happy.
Timings :
Morning - 3-4 rounds from 6-8 am
Evening - only once from 5.30 -6 pm
I love feeding them and I would love if they grow in number.
