| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Since 1959 Chandigarh being my birth, study and service place, I had been feeding and listing chip-ship of these lovely birds till 2009. Soon after the installation of Mobile Phone Towers these birds are no more visible, more over I feel that some other big birds are also a reason of their elimination. Now I mis them a lot. I used to getup early with their alarm in the wee hours. Now, I have observed not only in Chandigarh but alomost in Punjab like Jullunder & Ropar areas where I have been visiting since 2009 are without these lovely birds and heard people saying in Calcutta that these birds are no more now. |
