Kuruvi again..
This is about 2 sparrows that used to come inside our living room in search of something. I used to see them quite often. We had a false ceiling in our hall and had removed the old thermocol to fit new ones. These 2 sparrows were trying to set up a nest in between the metal panels and had also gathered few dry twigs. But the unfinished nest was in a position that it was about to fall, so I kept the old thermocol back in its place so that the nest would be secure. But I later realized that I did a mistake, because the sparrows didnt come after that at all. May be they came to know that someone is watching them and they had to find a more secure place for their future little ones.
