My morning still starts with their chirps, when my parents feed them with seeds early in the morning.
In winters, when the fans of our house are switched off, and there is not much of a noise in the house, we have sparrows inside our drawing room and bedroom..
Their favourite place to nest is the unused bathroom in our house and in the last one year, we have had 3 nests in which the sparrows had laid eggs and we even saw the really tiny newborn sparrows. |
