| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I have changed my reidence once during the last six years of my life in Doha and have been feeding them daily. They are a sprightly lot, very cheerful and noisy. Its a pleasure feeding them-they turn up outside my kitchen door early in the morning and create a ruckus if Iam late in feeding them! Sometimes, they peck at my glass door or window pane! My backyard is strewn with bird poop which is a small pice to pay watching these little birdies alive and happy! We have pictures of sparrows feeding each other! An extremely tender and rewarding moment captured on a few seconds of video. Due to the presence of gardens, manicured lawns and flower beds around Doha city, we find quite a number of sparrows and other beautiful desert birds and some migratory birds along the northern coast of Doha in the protected mangrove areas. |
