| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | The sparrows share the area with other birds like purple sunbird, purple rumped sunbird, rock pigeon, jungle babblers, common myna, red vented bulbul, Indian robin, ashy prinia and white brown wagtail.They are normally in the back yard where there are more plants and where normally no one would go. Once I went there to photograph them , the male sparrows and other bird sps chirped non-stop together till I moved away but later they got used to my frequent visits. I think the number of sparrows has reduced because the other sps of birds have come in but they are living together. In the nineties, there were more sparrows and less of other sps. |
