Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I saw only 2 House Sparrows during this time period at different times of the year (a female and a male). Sparrows have declined drastically from 2000 - 2012 and now we have no sparrows left in our campus though many other common and migratory birds visit, nest and live in our green school. But the presence of these birds has also reduced due to growth in infrastructure and vehicles. I only hope we find a solution to this problem and increase the number of sparrows...
