Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I brought two nest boxes from Dehradoon( from Mr Prateek Panwar) about two years back and put up one in the front veranda of my house and other one in the back veranda.Unfortunately the Brahminy starling occupied both.As two pairs of Sparrows visit my house every day and they tried their best to occupy it but the other birds scared them away.Last year I made the entrance a little smaller on a piece of ply wood and pasted it on the original entrance with fevicol.Finally a few days back after a thorough survey the sparrows have occupied the nest box.I clicked the photo two days back.Other one I left for the Brahminy Starling. |
