I live in Ejipura and everyday when I pass by the bus stand towards Rama temple. I see a lot of sparrows in front of shops. I always tried attracting them to my building my placing water on the terrace. However in the process, pigeons are seen more. I would love to see the sparrows in my neighbourhood the way I had seen during my childhood days. Kinldy give me details about how I can help save the sparrow numbers. I together with my friends can atleast do something about this, but only with guidance and help. It would be great if I would get a response on your initiatve to save the sparrows. I have always been trying to get details how to save the sparrows, but I have no knowledege about it. Good Day, Regards, Suma SD
