| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I am fortunate enough to wake up to see the morning and also evening when they come back to their nests,chirping of these sparrows just overpowers the noise of cars and bikes.In front of my house there are many shrubs and there are two big trees one of mulberry and other of Aegle which nests these birds along with bulbuls and other birds. People around find them very noisy and clumsy and sometimes in the morning when I want to sleep for long they dont let me but still i like their sound. One day the mulberry tree was pruned and the next morning I didnt find the chirpings that day i felt that something really gone missing in life but thankfully they came back soon:)) |
