Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?i am living here from last 27 years. that is from my birth. say 10 years back from now there were many sparrows used to come in our balcony. but now the no is very less. in our area redevelopment is going on very fast. trees are less.due to redevelopment they cut the trees. so i can surely say that sparrows are reduced. 5 years back i could see only 2 or 3 sparrows within 2 days. but in last 2 years i have observed that no of sparrows has increased slightly. now i am seeing 7 to 8 sparrows every day. it is good sign. and now i have joined this initiative.
