Doordarshan Quarters, Thiba Palace Road Doordarshan Quarters, Thiba Palace Road Ratnagiri Maharashtra
We lived in Doordarshan Quarters, Ratnagiri from 2004 to 2011.I put a clay plate for water and another plate for food. Sparrows (and many other birds) came to my balcony. Sparrows had nests in gaps between top roof plate and wall in our quarters building. One person near my room spread food grains in the morning. Sparrows came in my balcony from morning to 11:00 am and in the evening. Rarely visited in afternoon. Also they take sometime sand bath. In Summer they sometime enjoy bath in clay plate.
They visited plenty in number. In rainy season , I have seen more than 20 sparrows sitting in my balcony probably for getting shelter from rain. when in a row, Sparrows generally sit keeping their face in opposite directions, probably the group can monitor all directions. They may come one after the other, but when sense danger, all fly immediately. How they take decision and tell others is unknown to me. They make small fights when eating in our balcony. they can be nearby to crow, bulbul, maina, koel , parva (some marathi names) birds while eating and these big birds generally ignore sparrows and did not disturbed sparrows at least in my balcony.

Dum Dum Cantonment, Kumorpara, Modern Park Dum Dum Cantonment, Kumorpara, Modern Park Kolkata Nort 24 pgs West Bengal
I visit my relation there at the above mentioned area. Every morning sparrows appear at a particular time as they are habituated as because my relatives put some rice on the window for them every day as a practice. Even in day time, they come back for rice also. If the rice is not put in time they used to knock the window glass chirping and usually comes in 5 to 10 in numbers. Last saturday (7th April 2012) I was there and I saw them coming to the window for food grains.As per our relative's experience, these birds sometime come inside the living room for food grains.

residents normally destroy/donot allow sparrows to build nests , vegetation around is grdually decreasing. Number is seems to be reducing. We regularly feed bird with "kakoon " in mornings and sometime keep a water pot also for them. In winters , the numbers appears to be higher than in summer.
