Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I used to live in a house just near the Kurichi Lake, a calm environment and most of all, my house was situated on the top floor with a Government Ration Store below. There used to be lots and lots of grains scattered around, the sparrows will come to feed them, and drink from the bowl of water which i used to keep and they nested frequently too.
