Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?Dear Sir This is in response to your article published in TOI on the 3rd April.I used to live in Paryavaran Complex area on IGNOU road from June2010 to April 2011.There I watched four pairs of house sparrows chirping about on ventilators on the back side of 4-storied building.There was no tree or any sort of vegetation. In April 2011 to chirag Dilli in South Delhi, near malviya nagar. Here there is undeveloped DDA park area along side the big open drainage both sides of which abundance of perennial trees are there.Despite that I noticed only two to three pairs of house sparrows in the bush since last 8 months. But since a couple of months only single pair of house sparrow is seen despite a good habitat and natural fauna available for them . Thanks and Regards Sunil Kumar
