Kasturba Marg Patel Colony Jamnagar Gujarat
There used to be huge congregations of sparrow in our garden in the past more than 500 birds. The trees where they used to roast was favorite hunting grounds for migrating birds of prey. This was observed in 2001-05. Currently very few number of birds are observed roasting.
In the past from 2005 onwards till 2009-10 fair number of birds - 25 -50 used to come for foraging at the feeding places in the garden. Of later their numbers have fallen down to an occasional bird or two.

We often used fans at home with Air Conditioner(uesd at night time in October, November, April, May, June).
Sparrows have almost gone and so no more chirping though crows & pigeons are still seen.

There are a huge number of Sparrows nesting in the False Ashoka Trees in our Residential Colony Garden.
I, myself, have two Bird Boxes on my Flat windows, which are always occupied by Sparrows.

The number of house sparrows has reduced. Earlier we used to see it regularly, but now ocassionely. Sparrows are seen but not their nests.

Shastri Hall - residential colony Mumbai Maharashtra
By 1970's our housing society underwent a change. Some of the old buildings & trees, open spaces gave way to a new building a 9 story (where I reside since 1970). The surrounding property which had a small bungalow surrounded by lots of varieties of trees like mango, banyan, lots of bushes also gave way for a new residential building 22 floors -know as Matru Mandir-
However the other two/three sides covering our residential colony still had old tenements with few trees. So there was still skyline over viewing some part of Mulbar Hill, Chaupati see front. The fans in residence (7th floor) were hardly used even in summer. Sparrow though reduced considerably were seen hopping to pick up rice grains/ left over of food grains being cleaned in the morning & evening hours.
