Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?Hi! being a native resident of Assam; i used to visit home after every 6 months. My mother in fact every one of my house loves animals and birds. we also plant and grow several vegetative and non vegetative plants and trees. We have a number of pigeons,ducks,hens living in our house and hence feed them every morning and evening. it is at that time when these little "SPARROWS" (who are now endangered) several of them come to join and feed alongside the domestic birds. They feed on so happily and with so much hunger as tough they haven't had anything for the day and was just waiting for something. They eat and fly back onto the bamboo hut and wait for a second serving; and yea we feed them again. It's common routine for them to come and chirp there daily as tough they discuss what they did for the day what they had and what is awaiting for them then! All these and more make up my home memorable looking out for more birds and animals elsewhere. Atiqul
