My house in the above mentioned area seems to be a nesting area for few birds. During the spring & summer, we were woken by the chirps of the house sparrows. Since it is a big space, while I may have heard sparrows near my window only, there were few nests all over the house at different locations. I am not sure if it was the same family that nested at different spots. However, around 2009, many changes in the colony have reduced the number of chirps. We have had new housing apartments, our neighbors built another floor in the house & the heat rose. Since 2010, I've observed nests in relatively shaded areas around the house, but heard much less chirping.

The sparrows were absent for few years in this locality. I have started seeing them again from past 1 year.

I was studying there form 2006 to 2009 and often saw sparrows there and some with active nests also. and in some classes there was no salient time as there was always baby birds making sound (*calling for food & parents i think so*). It was very nice because some-one was there to irritate our professors.
we also saw a sparrow struck to the fan of one class and died there and u could do nothing but to pour some cold water on it to relive from some pain (there were many sad moments like this).

There are many pigeons, crows and their nests abound. However, while there are about 20-50 sparrows flying and chirping around, I have never seen their nests.
