Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?Earlier there were jowar fields in this area. so many sparrows were seen here. About 250- 300 meters away is the river Pavana. The land near it is flat with many small bushes and trees. In the evenings though, one can still see flocks of sparrows flying by. I've kept a bird feeder and water in my balcony. Sparrows come to feed Bajra everyday, throughout the day. Usually there are 4 sparrows. Two of which were seen 'picking' the cotton that i had tied with a clothespin for their nest. On the southern side of my house, sparrows have build a nest in the pipes that go along the wall of my building...These sparrows are diffrent than the ones that come in the balcony.
