| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | The sparrows have trouble balancing their nests
on the pipes fixed outside our quarters.Their nests often keep fallin' down in bits.
Since ours is a govt. campus it would be
really nice if artificial sparrow houses (nest boxes) were made available on our campus.I feel people would even buy them at their nominal prices.
Our kids love to watch their activities. If we could tie up the artificial houses (nest boxes) ,the sparrows would thrive. Also it would be a treat for our kids to watch and observe their activities closely and thus instil and develop in them a love for nature.
Most people on our campus provide water and also food for the birds . Since we do have some cats on our campus these little birds prefer to have their nests at a height .
Kindly do make the nest boxes and bird feed available on our campus. |
