| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I still remember those days when I used to get up with the sweet chirping sound of sparrows & while going to school I could find many around & near my home. I could see nests as well however time has changed since then & the sparrows nest has been repalced with the nest for our humans the places in & around the cities are just getting converted into one concrete jungle where birds dont find a place to nest themselves. Watching sparrows have been a past activity now with no where to see them , it is very disappointing that they have come to the verge of extinction & the time is not soon that it may be declared as an one endangered species like others. It has been years that I could have them see on my windows or balconies.
Some immediate steps have to be taken to preserver them so that our coming generations can admire these sweet little birds. |
