I have some potted plants in my balcony and the sparrows flit about among the plants. Sometimes they annoy me by pecking and destroying tender leaves of my tulsi plant. I have also noticed them picking up threads, fibres and dried twigs perhaps as nest material. I wonder where the nests are though. There are some trees in this complex;some nests maybe among the branches. The sparrows have been around here for several years. |
