Anuja Yadav - Fortwilliam Kolkata West Bengal

The observation shared is from a well protected,green and environment friendly Army Area that had a no of birds but not the sparrows. The sparrows are not to be seen in entire Kolkata. The possible reason is electromagnetic waves from mobile towers that are believed to destroy the thin shelled eggs of sparrows.
The sparrows that were once considered a menace for making their nest every where including ceiling fans, are now extinct from the cities. In the last ten years i have stayed in Lush green Army Cantt located in cities like Lucknow, Bareilly, Kolkata, nasirabad, Bangolre but could not find the sparrows. The sparrows are however, very much present in the North East in remote locations , thanks to absence of mobile network.
