| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Actually with a lot of filth and dirt getting piled up, we have Crows as frequent visitors and not sparrows. I used to feed the sparrows at a particular time and surprisingly they would chirp if i incidently forgot. I did that almost the time i used to have my own lunch. Keeping fresh water every alternate day, my balcony was actually a haven for a rather rare species of bird, describing it would be like a small, olive green colour body, white streaks along the end, quite round and bushy i would say. they would make a typical sound while chirping. relishing the ripe friuts on the Aaudumbar tree they would accumulate in many as a dozen of them. Sparrows though now dont accept the food that i give them, they rather disappear when i place the food. the food is the same as i have, as i don't give any leftovers or so to them. It seems they have abbandonned me for a unknown reason. |
