| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Since I got interested in Birdwatching ( summer 2011) I motivated my students to feed the birds. We kept bird feed in the school campus and watched how sparrows along with some other bords would come to feed on the grains.
My students loved feeding the birds and for me this was a little way in which i could perhaps sentitize my students to care for our environment.
It is a joys to see the little sparrows feeding on the grains sometimes alone and many times in company!! |
