| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | i happen to live in one of the most green areas of New Delhi with flora and fauna in abundance .Cantonment is the home for peacocks, pigeons, crows , barbet, kingfisher at times, owl , green pigeon , woodpecker , indian grey hornbill , myna ,eagle but our favourite Sparrow is gone ...just vanished . I still remember the good old days when Sparrows use to nest in my house and there use to be chirping all day long and i use to feed them . The probable reasons i can think of their extinction in my area is : 1) no available space for them to nest in the houses as before after renovation of houses .In our quest to build new modern houses we all forgot the Sparrows . 2) mobile antenna's 3) scarcity and availability of food for them ...we have no time for them i would love to go any far to have them back in my locality once again |
