On our way to Radhanpur in February 2012, we stopped by at this restaurant for a cup of tea, it was a small restaurant with an asbestos roofs, inside the restaurant I observed about 3-4 nest of House Sparrows and lot of activity of sparrows in that restaurant.

House Sparrows i saw used to built nests in the cracks/gaps in between me and my neighbour's house...As far as i remember now,they were fairly active from the early morning through the day till the early hours of evening...around 4pm...!

I clearly remember two nests of them in my neigbourhood.

It's real nostalgic...!Miss them..!!

Please let me know if i can contribute in any other manner..it would be a privilege to work for such a noble cause...Way to go..!!

I went to that place for first time to buy a flower garland. The shop saw full of flowers, leaves and other decorative items. Then suddenly i saw a sparrow and then one after another gathered there. I was surprised and very pleased to see those sporrows. So i clicked few pics to show to my friends or for memory.

There used to be two big old trees (thick bark, lost of strong stems and leaves) close to where I live. Those trees were home to a lot of house sparrows. I was very used to seeing them around frequently. I was very used to hearing their chatter in the dawn and in the evening. There were a lot of sparrows living there and had nests. The dense green leaves would cover the stems like a green shield from strong wind, rain or scorching Sun shine .

Both the trees are no longer there. They were chopped down by respective landowners.

After this incidents I no longer hear the joint chatter of a herd of sparrow in any time of the day. I rarely hear the chatter of one single sparrow. Even rarely I see a sparrow around my house. Since those two trees were chopped down I never saw a herd of sparrow like I used to.

Also what I observed is there are also many other trees in the surrounding region but none of them are as old or as strong like the twos which gave shelter to the sparrows. The sparrows never opted to nest or stay in any of those newer (very susceptible to strong wind and bad weather) trees.
