Every one in our locality knows the fact that its because of mobile towers, but because of lifestyle these days we cannt ignore the use mobile phones in our daily routine.
If any one has a solution to increase sparrow population, then kindly let me know I'll be more than happy to share that in my locality. And would definitely work on that as much as I can.
