| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | During this time period, I would like to inform you that there had been a sudden emergence of cats in the locality. People were actively adopting stray cats and allowing them to flourish in our society. Within a short time these cats multiplied drastically and almost covered the complex. Now cats are excellent climbers and hunters and it is my belief that these cats are responsible for the disappearance of sparrows and squirrels alike from our residential area. |
