| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I have been to very remote places and cities as well. We used to keep water and grains for sparrows when we were small. Even in cities when temperatures used to touch higher degrees during summers, the water helped them a lot, the birds quenched their thirst with those small containers of water. I have observed that large number of sparrows thrive in trees which are shady and they can easily hide for example. a fully grown mango tree or the one which has dense number of leaves. It's sad that we hardly hear the chriping in the morning in today's time. Man is loosing connection with the nature and complains about boredom and routine of life. Man is seriously missing life by getting away from these natural calls......I hope some day every one realise this...... |
