A flock of about 30 House Sparrows visit my garden twice everyday once in the morning between 7.30AM-8.00AM and once in the afternoon between 4.15PM-4.30PM. Number of males are less than number of females. I and my wife treat them with
'Kangra Dana' and puffed rice. They share their food with 2 pairs of Spotted Dove, 1 pair of Collared Dove and a pair of
Red Vented Bulbul. Only the Collared Doves try to bully others. The sparrows appear to observe a very decent social discipline. The adults do not mind feeding young ones without any discrimination. Both males and females occasionally resort to fight to gain social authority.
They have superb communication skills. It is observed that
the group take off in a body and in flash to a nearby tree or creeper. I failed to detect any reason for it. I also could not detect any warning signal from the dominant males or females. But I am sure they hear sound beyond human range
and get alerted. It is heartening to note that the Sparrows are making a slow but steady comeback.

A couple of times a male house sparrow ate some of the seeds of the Tulsi plant on my balcony.
There is also a large resident population of pigeons that are fed daily by the gujarati community in the area. But I'm not sure if this is impacting the sparrows or not.
