Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I don't have a story, but regret only. When I started living in that area after construction of own house, I used to see many sparrows in the morning hours. Now I occasionally, once a week two or three sparrows. i thought of putting hallow cardboard tubes to facilitate sparrows to build nest inside house and make a small opening for them to move in and out. but my family members did not agree as the opening will allow mosquitos to come inside. Now, eventually, none of our efforts stopped mosquitos coming inside, but helped in vanishing of sparrows.
