| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | In the past year a bougainvilla plant grew out of a pot and into the ground, spreading itself along the fence of this small garden in front of my building. It then became a home to a number of sparrows. They make a good deal of noise when the exit the bush one by one in the mornings and when they return in the evenings. They spend a lot of time chatterring to each other in and around the bush. When the maali takes the watering hose to the bush they will scamper out of reach of the droplets and perch themselves on the windows of the flats in my building chirping with excitement.
It's a delight to have them around and visitors often remark on the rare sight of sparrows at the window in mumbai. |
