I've observed that the house sparrows get confused by seeing its reflection in the side mirror of my bike and start pecking aggressively. My rear view mirror got damaged and now I'm not keeping mirror on my bike.

There is lot of sparrow activity & continuous chirping in the complex through out the day and at any given point of time one can watch 10-15 sparrows.

House sparrows had made nest in our varanda and we had shown our children hatching of the chicks.
Now we do not see this bird any more. The situation is so not only in India but almost the world over. The name suggests that the bird lived in association with man because of protection from the carnivores. The urban areas (like our kitchen garden, park, lawns) we do not use pesticides and herbicides; there has been no change in the architectural designs of the buildings in the city. There, however, is one change since that period, i.e. the emergence of cell-phone towers - more in urban areas. The emergence of cell-telephony and decline of house sparrows (birds being very sensitive) coincides. The phenomenon is worldwide and more in the urban areas. This is a logic which is by and large acceptable to many Ornithologists, especially who are not stuck to the old concept of use of pesticides which are not the same everywhere. The pesticides had been in use since long.
I have been working on this aspect with scientific approach. Although not on sparrow eggs (that I can't get in good numbers for my experiments that too repeatedly), but on fertilized hen eggs. The results of the effects of cell-phone radiations on chick embryos are clear. I will share the results after completing the studies.

Hi Dear Sparrow Pals
Glad to be one among you.
My office is situated on the first floor in this area. One day i heard this familiar chirp but could not see the sparrow. In the days that followed i saw very few birds and it brought so much happiness to me. As a child we lived close by and we had nests built for them in the house . So i had the opportunity to observe these tiny lovely creatures from childhood. Now i give them rice grains everyday
which i keep in a small container in my desk.
