There were times when I used see groups consisting more than 10-15 sparrows in my balcony regularly during the nineties. They used to nest in nooks and corners, including inside the coolers. I have started noticing their declaim somewhere in the yearly 2000. Further it kept reducing. Today I hardly see them, evenif I do it may be a maximum of one or two. Last year one pair made their nest above my of air-conditioner outdoor unit. We provided them with water. The pair did succed in raring one female chick. This year I waited for them to come back but sadly not been lucky so far. I am missing their chirpings. |
