| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | The location I explained above is an apartment, where I live. I am living in this locality since 2009. At the time when I occupied the flat, there are no sparrows. But after six months I saw the sparrow which is searching place for build the nest. I let the pair of sparrows to build a nest in one of my windows and since last 3 years they are with me. I used to watch them every day. I keep some grains and water for them in a safe place. They developed their population. I think, now they are at least 20-30 in the surrounding of my apartment. some inhabitants are trying to wipe them off but I am not supporting them. I am planning to arrange some hide outs on the out side wall of my flat to let the sparrows build more nests.
Even before, when I was a tenant, I hardly locate the sparrows in the residential localities. In my childhood days, I liked and used to watch sparrows which build nests in the corners of our house. With that interest, I used to search sparrows wherever I move. But in the present location, my thirst for sparrows is fulfilled. I used to explain my neighbours regarding the sparrows. |
