Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?When i was very young sparrows make their nests in our ceilings & holes or ventilation system of Havelis. but after when we installed the ceiling fan they left our houses. In ninetees i usually saw a huge number of sparrows eating grains on our roof top. We still offering food (roti,bajra,wheat etc.) to them but the number has been reduced. Even I feel the number of peacock is also declining. In earlier days in summer season when i sleep on the roof peacocks were the morning alarm. They dance on the roofs in groups. but now the number is declining everyday which is very sad. Regards, Manoj Gaur :(
