That time there were to many nest of house sparrow in the first floor of my house. They were using grass as a nesting material and making nest in the ventilation (webed rosandan)at upper end of the wall. There was also a nest in my bedroom to whom I was usually observing by climbing the window. I remeber the small tunel shape nest of sparrow there. Some time I found nacked cheeks of these birds on the ground accidently fallen down to whom i always tried to replace it back to the nest. There were lots of house sparrow in my garden also they were always keep calling.
But now these birds are in danger. I hope and wish that there population recover as soon as posible to make our environment live.
