| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | We, as a family love birds and animals. We have been feeding sparrows daily for over 10 years. They begin their day by 6.30am and go on visiting us through the day till late in the evening. They enjoy dal-rice, upma, pohe, milk-rice, chapati, vermicilli upma, sev, sprouted matki usal etc. They start chirping whenever the food gets over. We have observed that many a times the male sparrows wait for the females to have the feeds first. We get at least 40 to 50 birds daily. They often have their meetings, tiffs and fights on our window grill. They do not enter inside as a rule! |
