| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | No doubt that sparrows have an important role in ecosystem..as they are omnivoures they can feed on both insects and grains. In urban areas they are very helpful in checking growth of various seasonally occuring insects. Beside their ecologcally important role it is really nice to see their various activites such as making nests, feeding their young ones and sometimes their funny dance :-)At morning time it is really good to listen their sweet twitter. Some times they create trouble for us...coz at the time of nesting they often choose a place like tubelites, fans,over flow pipes, windows etc and deposit various types nesting materials. :-) |
