| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | There used to live a pair of sparrow in the hole for hanging ceiling fan in the lobby of my home. The female sparrow used to leave daily in the morning to bring some food and water from my kitchen and nearby areas for her newly born babies. On the other hand male sparrow was a lazy fellow. One day the female sparrow didn't return by late in the evening. Her babies cried the whole night. I put some water and cooked rice for them. The next morning male sparrow went and brought a new mother for them. By the evening their real mother returned back. She fought with the male sparrow and threw him out of the nest. He spent all his night by sitting on a nearby wire. The next morning sparrow family lived happily as before.
This story is based on a true observation of mine. There still lives a pair of sparrow in the same hole. |
