| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I saw that the sparrow numbers dwindled in my locality. Probably this was due to an increase in Construction activity in our locality and many old houses were demolished to build new apartments. But once the majority of the construction activity is completed now and houses are getting older, I found that the Sparrow numbers increased significantly. Once, me and some of my friends thought of doing something to help sparrows and other birds.
