| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I see sparrwos in the day time generally near and around my house. But since few days I am observing that a pair of sparrows are resting after sunset inside my house. They come into the house at sunset and rest on a rope on which a money plant (creeper) grows. These two sparrows rest close to each other in between the leaves of the plant (as if they are cudling each other) , with their heads buried in their wings.
I am saddened of the thought that they might not have a nesting place.I am puzzled that though there is some vegetation(some kind of nursery and park with lots of trees) near to my house they seemed to come to my home every day at sunset. |
