| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I generally spread out some rice grains or pulses on the window sill the previous night. The very next morning the very first thing audible to me is some noise created by aves at my sill picking grains and flying away, repeating over and again. It is the sparrow or some other tiny birds to come first being replaced by the dominant pigeons, and these pigeons create lot of noise. Its all is like a alarm increasing in volume from the scale of low by sparrows to the high by pigeons. My circadian rythems have adjusted to their activities over time....and it feels great to declare myself a nature lover. |
