| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | We shifted to Shivadarshan area from narayan Peth in 2007.
A] I guess even upto 2005 ; in narayan peth we used to keep piece of poli for sparrows visiting everyday ! Donno what happened after that ; hardly few we were able to see. mostly donno where did they disappear ! My Grandma resides till date in same area. She observed same things.
B] However, after 2007 we observed many sparrows because of trees in lane . Pigeons and crows as well now a days since last 1 1/2 yr. However, my grandma noted same thing in narayan peth as well withing the same time Duration.
* One of the tree infrount of my house is a sparrow colony with many of their nests. Sparrows visit our small balcony everyday without fail. We keep water for birds. Sparrows used roll down and play in sand (Res) in our parking which was there for a time being when parking -flooring stuff was going on ! Sparrows don't fly even if i stand just besides our huge french window.
** Notable Thing :
1. Crow prefers water in small ranjan which is typically used for sankranti-waan. That is kept in our Tulsi tree set filled with water.
2. Pigeons and sparrows prefer water pored in Tulsi-set dish. (Dish in which Tulsi 's Pot is kept ) .
3. Sparrows sometimes dip their Lil head in... :)) I guess they also need a shower in 38 C. Of Pune
------------------------------------------------------------
Some times in evening ; all of them just start chirping together ! Its really hmmmmm listening that chiw-chiw !!
Yep, Must b noted in summer they are not always spotted in a gr. of 5-30 at a time. But are about 5-10. And they come for their drink in a gr. of 2-5 @ one time !
P.N. : It s back side of garden where sparrows seen. Their colony tree is far from garden. In garden area , pigeons usually seen on trees. and crows ! |
