Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I always try to observe thier presence by their cheppring / Sound and then try to locate them. Often see the place and tree where they geather or usually rest in for the night. Love them love there sound; it reminds me of my childhood memories when I use to see them more often and in large numbers. It is a great stress buster for me. What worries me is loud sounds of any nature which disturbe the sparrows. Last is Water and food avablity which is serious issue in polluted cities like Delhi.
