| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Actually for last 1 year sparrow's are making nest in my balcony. I cleaned their last year's nest because they were seen not to be interested in living in that old nest. They were trying to make another one so I cleaned old nest and now they made another 1. My balcony is safe for them as they built nest in old bath tub which is open from lower end which have only small opening so only sparrows can go inside.
Also I have kept one bowl in which I keep water so sparrows and other birds like crow and pigeons come to drink it.
My area is mostly covered by trees so I have seen sparrows collecting materials for making their nest but I have seen sparrow nest in my balcony only |
