I have lived in this plot of land for the past 20 years and till a week ago had not seen House-Sparrows in my compound. In the compound adjoining mine, I have often, over the years seen House-Sparrows nesting behind lamp shades in an open verandah and also in a small wall entrance mirror with a stand.
Just about a week ago around 3 pairs of House-Sparrows arrived at my home and every morning I see them flying into my garage, sitting on the phone wires and flying into a Chameli vine and also a Bougainvillea creeper on my porch. I have not seen a nest yet. I have hung 2 Sparrow boxes which I got from Nature Forever Society in Nashik but the Sparrows have not discovered them yet. Hoping that the Sparrows will make my home a permanent nesting spot and we will have more and more of them every where.

Tweet for the sparrow
It is very rare now that we hear the sweet and melodious chirping of the Sparrow. It is time now
to take stock of what we can do. World Sparrow Day is designated to give us an opportunity to protect this little bird.
March 20 is observed as World Sparrow Day. Why a Sparrow Day? Because the number of sparrows is fast dwindling and we humans need to do something drastic rethinking about our lifestyle and the environment to save these little birds. It is also an opportunity to bring together all bird lovers so that we can find ways to conserve endangered and exotic wildlife. The theme for this year is “Chirp for the sparrow! Tweet for the sparrow!”
WHAT MY FAMILY HAS DONE
We have tried to create an ideal environment for the little birds in our home. We have established a Bird Bath where we regularly keep Bird food every day in the morning and watch the Sparrows fly in hordes to eat and drink and enjoy the serenity of the garden. They are joined here by several other varieties of birds lie the White Throated Munias, the Little brown Dove, the laughing dove, the Indian Robin, the Pied wagtail and so many other small birds.
The grass in the garden is a haven for other birds like the Common Myna, the Pied Myna, the Brahmany Starling, the grey headed Starlings and of course several varieties of doves.
It is a treat to watch the beautiful white breasted water-hen who frequents my garden pond early in the morning and sometimes the common moorhen, who once nursed three chicks last year in my backyard. Sometimes the Cattle egret and the White breasted kingfisher also visits my pond in search of small fish who breed in it.
The trees in my garden are so full of birds that we can enjoy throughout the day, sounds of different birds hopping in the dense branches. The Neem tree is the home for the Indian Koel. The dense foliage of the Jungle Jaleb

I think we must give place for the birds also to live, specially sparrows, they are dwindling in numbers very fast, but lukily near my house they are surviving and i am enjoying their company daily.
