| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | During 2005 i observed these birds, in about two years they just disappeared. We always had dogs at home and the birds regularly visited to eat the dog food which was mainly rice and to drink from the water bowl. They roosted at a flyover that is visible from my house. But in the last couple of years they are never to be seen. The habitat around my house is perfect for sparrows with a lot of grains and grassfields, beautiful flyover with lots of roosting space and a pond in our area for water even in summer. But i do not understand what went wrong to finish our little sparrow community. Hope this helps.
