Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I saw a report on TV last year that sparrows are dwindling. Then I realized yes these chirpy birds used to be an integral part of my childhood and now I see them almost no where. After a few days I saw some 10 sparrows feasting on chapati pieces inside my colony and was very happy to see them. Just last week one sparrow came and sat on my window grill.
