| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Sparrows were a regular feature those days. Every day we used to spot sparrows from our balcony chirping merrily. Once or twice, sparrows even built nests at our balcony loft. But sadly, the female sparrow abandoned her eggs after a day or two and as a result, the eggs didn't hatch. Miss those days when we could get a glimpse of sparrows flying on and on in between buildings from morning till evening. I think they are found in places where there aren't too many highrises. Atleast that's what i believe. Because the area where i used to live is a colony of just four storied buildings. Sparrows are still found there. Also i find sparrows occasionally in my office premises which is located at an area not surrounded by too many highrises. Maybe my opinions are baseless. May be. But can't rule that out completely. |
