IIT Madras campus Chennai Tamil Nadu
Though there are no house sparrows in IIT Madras campus, sometime during 2001-2004 period I happened to see two dead sparrows in the close range of few meters within a time span of 10 minutes. One of the sparrow was dead near a handful of whole grains (rice with husk) in front of one of the temples inside the campus. I was shocked and till now did not understand what went wrong.

Jayanagar, Bhagyanagar, KPHB Bhagya Nagar Colony, Kukatpally Hyderabad Andhra Pradesh
Ever since we started keeping a bowl of fresh water in our balcony, we noticed an increase of around 1-2 pairs every year for the past 2 years. We have an open space adjoining our balcony, all covered with bushes and shrubs. The birds thrive on the food crumbs we throw in this space, and then throng along to our balcony for a drink and a bath! The birds splashing in the bowl make for a heavenly sight!

Pujarivaripalli village Chittoor Andhra Pradesh
People here have a belief that sparrows are auspicious. One family had just built a pukka house, with screen mesh over the windows. But they had carefully cut out a hole in the middle of one window so that a family of sparrows could fly in to their nest (in a box hanging from the middle of the ceiling).

DSK Akashganga society Aundh Pune Maharashtra
I live at DSK Akashganga in Aundh, Pune. It is an 8 yr old residential complex. House sparrows are seen here in small groups of 10-15. My parents once told me that they haven't seen the house sparrow in their native place, Amravati (Maharashtra) from last five years. Also, I don't find any contribution about the information of sparrows from Amravati region. What could be the reason?
During my childhood days, I loved the sparrows who would often come inside the house without any fear. But now a days these birds seems to be afraid of humanbeings.
When I came to know about the extinction of sparrows, I decided to do something to save these little creatures.
Earlier I kept bajra grains for the birds but it attracted mainly the pigeons.
So I started keeping rawa for the sparrows. After few days I saw the sparrows visitng my balcony daily. I've also seen them collecting nesting materials.
I've kept a small earthen pot for feeding them water. My day begins with the sweet chirping of these birds and I enjoy their visit the whole day.
I've clicked a few snaps and videos of these birds to treasure for my grandchildren if in case they get extinct !
Last month I saw a sparrow sitting quietly for long time in my balcony. I felt as if it was not well. That evening my daughter who was playing downstairs told me that
a sparrow just fell down. I immediately rushed with a bowl of water.
But it was too late. The little bird had passed away. I was hurt. Don't know what could be the reason. Could it be sunstroke?
I have built a bird house recently from a box which I bought from the nearby grocery shop.
We have an open piece of land behind our society where lot of trees like babul, neem and grasses have grown which makes it a kind of green belt.
Also there is a 'Mula' river behind which makes a good habitat for the birds.
Other birds like the bulbul, maina, sunbirds,robins visit my balcony daily.
Every year the scaly breasted munias build their nest between the potted plants in my balcony. It's a wonderful sight to see them nesting.
