So i do a kind of part time job at my Institution. There is a nest built by Sparrows in front of my office and recently about 2-3weeks (approx) earlier they have given birth to young chicks as well. Right now also they are ch ripping outside. I tried to take pics of those sparrows but they fly away when i try. I have observed that the chicks remain inside the nest. Sometimes when its time to close the office one of the sparrow comes inside and sits on top of the office fan, i never tried to chase it. I ensure that the door remains opened so that it flies again to its nest, and it does so. |
