| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | There was a time when sparrows come inside our house and feed on fallen rice grains and other eatables. That was about four years back when there was no Mobile towers in our area. After the erection of two towers in the same locality I hardly have seen them. But at the same time in a place about 10 KM away from my place where many towers are there I have seen sparrows making permanant nests in small buildings. So... How could we link sparrow population to mobile towers? I am confused. But I could say.. there is an overall impact on sparrows due to mobile towers. |
