| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | When my dad was growing up around these areas and my home, My Dad used to feel them as annoying my studies in the morning, annoying to my Grandma because they used to peck the dry fruits kept to dry in the Varandah. I was born in USA in 1997, stayed in USA till 2011 November. I saw PLENTY of Sparrows in Detroit, they even survive COLDEST and HARSHEST winters in Detroit, they all look Pluffy in Winter and make some noise around bushes around homes. It was reminding all of us, how to make fun even in harsh and depressing 5 months winter time in Detroit. But it is very depressing to learn they are all gone virtually in Cities and concrete jungles in Hyderabad, even in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh. By some means Indian Population need to be reduced to 1/3rd of current level for not only Sparrows, but for whole world and entire living creatures/Plants/trees. |
