Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I lived in a house. Where i have a small garden with all types of trees around. Small, big, flowers, fruits etc. Once observed, i found a large no. of sparrows on my terrace. Then i thought that we should keep some water & food for them. Then i started keeping some fresh water, some shaddowed shelter & food everyday. I also provide some natural bathing facility to them. Then in response of this, sparrows lives in my terrace whole the day. But for some specific time they fly somewhere & returned back when they get hungry & thirsty. I also noticed that, nowadays they are recognising me personally, They ask for food & water in their language. At night i cannot trace, where they go, where they live? Next morning again sweet morning alarm !!! So happy being friends of them...
