| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | We have a particular pair that come on to the kitchen window every day, several times a day. my mother is attached to them and feeds them rice grains. I got married recently and my mother had to learn to adjust to living alone, as my father passed away several years ago. Its endearing to see that she has developed an emotional bond with the sparrows and mentions them coming very often I am thankful for these sparrows that have brought small, but very appreciated cheer into her lonely life.
(I think the male sparrow often perches on the kitchen window at night - not sure if this has implications in terms of nesting behaviour). |
