Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?when i was 15,there were many nest of sparrows around my house and also in my house. sparrows flies in my house and outside. everywhere i could see the sparrow. but now it is very difficult to see them. they dont come to house, i can't find the nest around me. it is very painful for me to see this. but it is true. still i can see them but in very very less number and occasionally.
