Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?House sparrows use to come at my balcony and try to build a nest above a water tank in my house. this was always attacked by numerous crows,who are fed nearly 5-6 times a day by my neighbour due to some religious purposes. unfortunately I ,too have enclosed my balcony with glass windows, so sparrows do come though much less than before but nesting is out of question.
