Yes definitely the number has decreased but its still good to see their are still fair numbers of sparrows over there. On my roof daily 20-30 sparrows are visible. my family members put water and some food for birds on roof and they visit my house daily. That's nice to watch them. Nearby my home is Hospital which has many trees and is home of many birds and nearby there are many grassland and trees so the nest are visible but not as much as my childhood. Its really sad that there are few peoples in our locality who kill birds and i often ask them to not to do so. My family members ask them to not do do but they don't care. |
