| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I came to Mudichur in the mid of 2004, it was not a developed area as it is now. you can barely count the houses in my area at that period, so i could see many trees, where i have heard the sounds & have seen sparrows, parrots, cuckoo & crow very often.. But i could noticeably, tell that i m not seeing sparrows & parrots now. The only existing bird i can witness be crow & sometimes cuckoo.. The reason can be the newly developed housing flats, cell phone towers, vast transportation & off course destruction of trees etc.. |
