Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?We live in New Huaz Rani area of Malviya Nagar since 1997, a very densely populated area. And since then we have observed many House Sparrows chirping on a tree just in front of our building. 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 :) .
