Sector 9, CBD Belapur CBD Belapur Navi Mumbai Maharashtra
I have been watching them every day, though I have not been able to locate their nests. But, I have seen them picking up twigs in season to build nests. They come and feed on the steamed rice left for crows morning and evening and also for water. They must be living in trees nearby because by 4 pm in the winter and little later in summers the chirpy ones assemble and make such noise, they make my day. When the guava tree leaves get some white patches off season I see the sparrows pecking on them. Sometimes they get into a fight with the bulbuls that come to feed on the guavas.Not a day goes without the little wonders around me, the male and the female and the crowd at times.

Sparrows in my area are quite fearless. They enter the house, sit on lampshades and chirp. Two sparrows have made a nest on one of the unused closed windows and the family members make sure not to open it or disturb them in any way. The ones that enter the house to fly around are different ones though. Birds like sparrows are very sensitive and they will know when you are friendly. I would rather have an occasional bird poop on the floor than live in a place without free birds around.

house sparrow population is dwindling but it has not been eroded completely. earlier in our locality virtually every household will have sparrow nests but the expansion of housing plots in agricultural fields and abandoning crops such as rice, pulses and shifting to cash crops (for better profit)excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides also lead to the crash of the population size.
