Every morning sparrows appear at a particular time as they are habituated as because my relatives put some rice on the window for them every day as a practice. Even in day time, they come back for rice also. If the rice is not put in time they used to knock the window glass chirping and usually comes in 5 to 10 in numbers. Last saturday (7th April 2012) I was there and I saw them coming to the window for food grains.As per our relative's experience, these birds sometime come inside the living room for food grains. |
