I put water and millet (bajra) seeds out on my boundary wall for birds everyday. Sparrows came in large numbers. But they started to reduce in number, and approx in 2010 just vanished. In their place, a new larger bird of brown color and somewhat spherical body, with notable yellow eyes and a noisy chirp started to come (not the common Myna, that came before and continues to come now). However, after the Delhi High Court order banning illegal mobile phone towers, I noticed my cellphone signals (Vodafone and Reliance) went quite weak. Along with that, sparrows also started to increase slowly. Now they are almost as much as before. The larger brown bird also comes, though in smaller numbers and frequency.
Also, I greatly appreciate the BNHS taking such a citizen-involving initiative. More power to you.
