Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I live in a residential building that is situated right on the main road in Mahim west, very close to the Mahim station. We have the western line in front of our building. In my building complex, there are sparrows, both male and female and I see them everyday. i usually see them in groups. There are a lot of other housing societies adjacent to ours, and there should be many other sparrows there as well. There are many phone towers on roof tops around our building (though not in ours), so I am happy to see the sparrows still there. Since we are a residential colony (and an old development, over 20 years old i think), there should be many sparrow nests.
