Often I found that during our morning tea session we used to feed the sparrows with our biscuit crush from our box type windows. The sparrows enjoys their breakfast with us unfeared as the railing grill dosent allows the bigger birds to enter that space. As it is a routine job for us and also became a habit for those sweet creatures. Now they dosent allow us to forget them to feed. We also enjoy their activity from the closed glass window panes. |
