| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I live on the 7th floor of an apartment. Me and my family are Bird and Animal lovers. Every morning we have a mix of birds comprising of a Pair of Maina, A pair of Bulbul , A pair of Squirrel, some 4-6 sparrows visit our balcony with out fail. The Maina's announce their arrival around 6.30 am every morning, regardless of Saturday, Sunday or National Holidays, through vociferous noice and then wait silently to their share of Breakfast, which can be any thing from Tiger biscuits, to Bikeneri Aloo Bbujia to Cooked rice or raw rice, not to talk of noodles, which they relish of all.The arrival of the Pair of Mainas brings the group of sparrows and a pair of Bulbul. Once they are gone for a while the squirrel arrives to mop and clean up what ever is left behing. This goes on till 10-10.30 and then there is a luss for a while. The Maina's return around 2 -2.30 PM , its lunch time - no matter what we eat- they have their share along with the sparrows. Interestingly, our monthly grocery list finds a place for Tiger Biscuits with out a fail which is specifically meant for the birds. That is how the days go by, but the timing is mathematical and can be verified by a visit. Tomorrow onwards, I will try capturing some photos on my mobile and share with viewers Regards. Malay |
