Sparrows here were in very good condition, only predators to their eggs were crow, snakes or lizards(chhipakali). Out of their 2-3 eggs survival chances were around 90%. Humans were very friendly to them, They used put some water near to there nests and some pieces of bread. Usually female sparrows goes for food item to the newly born sparrows. Apart form bread pieces these sparrow eat insects mainly. About the present condition of sparrows and the effect of telecommunication infrastructure if any, I would only be able to post after my next visit possibly in oct,2012 first week. |
