| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I used to spot a pair of sparrows resting on the terrace of my house where we had moved in recently. Obviously as a animal/bird lover,I was thrilled and I made all attempts to attract the birds to build a nest nearby, I even made a birdhouse out of a old box and scattered grains all over the terrace. I did manage to feed the sparrows, it used to be regular visitor but never occupied the nest,I had made. Unfortunately, I have not seen those pair for a very long time, maybe almost 6 months now. I am willing to do anything to help the sparrows. Do let me know if I can be of any help. |
