We were very much bothered because of this as their chirping noise was no more. From 4-5 years, we put rice on the floor and slowly sparrows started increasing. They increased in number and started making nest in the house. It is very nice to see them get up early morning by 6 and come out of its nest. It go out and visit the house once every couple of hours, eat those grains and again go out. By 5.30 or 6 in the evening, the will come from outside and go to its nest. |
