Humayun Taher - Road No.1, Banjara Hills Banjara Hills Hyderabad Andhra Pradesh

This particular report is from my childhood when we lived in a large and very rambling old house. Cleaning grain and spreading it out to dry in the sun was an almost daily activity of the cook. In consequence, there were always several sparrows around the house in those days. A small group of about 25 birds were almost permanent residents. They nested regularly in the old walls, where there were convenient holes. We had put up nest boxes also but they never used these, preferring to use existing holes in the walls. I recollect we even used to occasionally try to catch the birds using a drop-type cage. Happily, we were very rarely successful; but I do remember how pleased I was when I caught two birds in a single attempt.
