Being an environment lover I have made a small balcony garden in my flat of around 100 plants. Since the creation of this garden in 1997 , I have always seen around 5-20 sparrows playing here and there in my balcony. I keep water and some food for them too on a daily basis.
The best time is seeing all these birds sitting together on the grill of my balcony during rains :) . |
