I have been staying since last 25 years and spent more than 75% of my childhood over here. It was a common thing to see a sparrow moving around. Even they used to make their nest in the house. Hearning their voice every morning was a like a habit.
During my childhood my mom used to tell the stories where sparrow used be a main character. Listening to those stories while watching the sparrow was a much more fun.
I never thought that in future we will have no sparrow moving around us and even we wont have a single sparrow to tell the story to our kid.
