| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I often see sparrows hopping around the ground floor residences picking grains of food and other times picking out nesting material like broom fiber. Its also interesting to see many sparrows flying to the box grills lining many upper floor windows, scouting for crevices around AC units fitted on the external wall perhaps for building a nest. Its irrititating to see residents often shooing or driving them off and completely insensitive and intolerant to letting birds nest. The same plight applies to sunbirds making attempts in a similar way! |
