Swapna Arulraj - Residential area with many independent houses and a few flats Syndicate Colony, Valasaravakkam Chennai Tamil Nadu

Those were really the golden days! I vividly remember sparrows fying in and out of my bedroom through the windows! Oh the chirps and the joy! We used to regularly see, on an average, 10-15 sparrows, daily. We used to feed them grains, not that they used to wait for us to :) There have been so many occasions when grains were being dried on the teraace, the place used to be swarming with sparrows. There was once an instance when one sparrow had built its nest on the top most shelf in my room! It really was blissful. They are SUCH wonderful stress busters! Sadly, they started dwindling slowly and now crows seem to have replaced all of them :( Lets do something to bring back our chirpy pals!
