| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I am seeing this small bird in the locality I had mentioned and its on the trees just next to my friends house and have spotted some in one more house nearby too and they were happily chirping on the road just next to a gate and tree. I try to attract them using grains and rice, but they never seem to be attracted, or afraid of me, tried to capture few snaps, but by the time I grab the camera, they hide inside the tree. I believe they will not last long, since this area is fast growing into a residential area, it already is, but would be worse in the future. Once upon a time, these places were agricultural lands and that was the reason for these still I guess. This is at whifield in Bangalore. |
