Our house is a safe heaven for sparrows as we have little small wooden holes on top of our roofs where they live, lay eggs and produce their little ones. Even now, sparrows live in our house but not as many as there used to be for which I am really feeling sorry about. They are little cute birds and I love them. There used to be more sparrows in our village but are disappearing slowly. I heard this kind of reports from our friends elsewhere. Hence, there is an immediate need to strive towards saving the sparrows.
