| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Sagar is a peaceful and clean town in located in Madhya Pradesh,India.It has been my home town n i lived my school life there.My Love for sparrws was since childhood.Being kiddish i use to love admiring birds in my childhood days.Its the story of my summer vacation.At the the corner of our ceiling behind a wall painting which stood little slanted to the wall against the support of a window a beautiful sparrow couple built a nest.After few days we noticed the there little ones started chirruping.They started drawing our atention.One day whin my parents were out I tried to pick one of the chick in excitemnt just to see that how they look.That usd to be naughty activities of mine.Although I replaced it back within no time I really loved those chiks in my hands and they remained a great experience till date.The soft cozy little little sparows.Days passed and monsoon arrived aftr few months sparrows left there nest.After completing my schooling when I migrated to Indore for my further education,I found no or rarely any sparrow here and I really missed them.Later I realised that it has alrady vanished from big towns
Although it has been more then 10 yrs of this incident but I still rmember my summer vacations.Now when I see sparrows decling from cities I feel really concerned about them.Species which are on the verge of getting decline are drwaing attention.From one of my manager I came to knew that one of the cause is increase in the number of telecom towers all over the cities whose signal reduces the lfe of birds.Many countries have agreed to adopt "Green technology" and India is also among one of them to save nature.Our effort can save this B'ful creature of God ..So come forward and participate is such events which works for conserving bords otherwise only their pictures will remain to show your children and narrate story starting as "Once upon a time there used to be a creature called "Sparrow".......and so on
