Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?Just two months back I had removed a electricity concealed wiring box, a small round cover, of 2 inches by 2 inches - because I had some water seepage problems from our top flat. In a few minutes, I had a sparrow visit this hole and within a few minutes another sparrow came in. This is my kitchen ceiling. Plus with the water seeping into this, the last thing I wanted was these sparrows building a nest inside my kitchen. So I shooed them off. They came in once or twice, but after that they have not come in. I felt bad, but I had no other option.
