| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I drive past the Krishnarajpuram station every day (9:15 - 9:30 am)to work towards my office in Whitefield. Around a 100 yards before the traffic signal (near the station) and on the adjacent Flyover walls are "pigeonholes" (perhaps to allow for some water seepage on the flyover; holes with a circumference of 4-5 inches and a depth of @ a foot).
Several types of birds nest in these holes including sparrows, mynahs and parrots.
Surprising this is one of the noisiest traffic points of the city (including the railways blasting by). |
