The sparrows were searching food and water. We used to provide them rice and water in a tray.

i had visited regulary or almost every day in winter in kutch dist.in interior,micro interior and city etc.during photographing many birds i had seen them regulary some times in less nos and sometime in more,here in our kutch district many and mainly manav jyot organisation had distributed many man made nests to countless peoples which has produced nice results people takes this nest and hangs arround their home,garden etc.i had captured many best images of house sparrow some of which are on obi.i will send some nice images to you or to bnhs for conservation purposes.i will send more information later on and regularly
their shoud one more option in this your long form,do you want to attach photographes? attach here.as sometime common peoples can not observe or know about their micro behaviour now a days photography is much easy and peoples are more intrested as they can photograph by their mobile too!
house sparrow,s species and subspecies are some time not easy to identify so if there are pictures specialist can differenciate.thanks

Hyderabad International Airport Hyderabad Airport (HYD), Airport Approach Rd, Shamshabad Hyderabad Andhra Pradesh
There seem to be two or three pairs of sparrows at one end of the building of the new international airport building. They seem to have their nests in the roof of the airport which is about 30 feet high.
This side of the airport also has a place where travellers sit and eat - and I have seen the sparrows jumping from table to table hoping to pick up morsels of food left behind by their human counterparts.

The population of house sparrow, the small bird that lives in nest colonies close to human habitats, is threatened by proliferation of mobile phone towers, erected without scientific norms or strict regulations, claims a recent study by a conservation group in Kerala.
The study in Kollam taluk by environmentalist group Kerala Environmental Researchers Association (KERA) claimed that the population of house sparrow -- Passer domesticus -- is on the decline in spots like railway stations, warehouses and human dwellings normally colonised by them.
Since its diet comprises seeds, cereals and insects, factors like harmful insects, introduction of unleaded petrol, combustion of which produces highly toxic compounds like methyl nitrite, use of garden pesticides and destruction of open grasslands and mushrooming of bird unfriendly architecture also harm existence of the sparrow.
The study holds that uncontrolled and unscientific proliferation of mobile phone towers is bringing down sparrow population, said Prof Zainudeen Pattazhy, who led the study.
"Conservation of house sparrows urgently require enforcement of strict rules and regulation on erection of mobile phone towers by the Centre," he said.
The study said mobile towers were found to emit electro magnetic waves of a very low frequency of 900 or 1,800 MHz.But this was enough to harm the thin skull of chicks and their egg shells. Hence it is imperative to include this bird in the endangered list and take steps to protect them from vanishing, it said.
According to Pattazhy, there are more than 80 mobile towers in Kollam taluk alone. In many places, three or four towers are erected within half a kilometre radius.
A mobile tower can emit microwave radiations in the Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) part of the spectrum of electro magnetic waves. RFR is a source of thermal energy and in adequate doses, has all known effects of heating on biological systems, including burns and cataracts in the eyes.
The heating effect of RFR can become a problem in individuals with metallic implants like rods in bones and electromagnetic interference can interact with cardiac pace makers. Acute high dose exposure to RFR may cause injury to the eyes. The cornea and lens are particularly susceptible to frequency of the 1-300 GHz range and formation of lesions in the retina is also possible.
