| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I have shifted in this locality in 2010 . I love birds a lot and always keep water and grains for them. but since a long time i dint see any sparrows . During rains ( around Jul - Aug ) some sparrows came but only for 2-3 days. I think because of too much urbanization, noise and pollution they have started living some where else . You cant find them in our houses any more . I cant believe this is happening in front of our eyes . 6-7 years ago they used to come to house to make nests . They were not afraid of human beings . I haven't seen any bird nest since a long time,earlier its was common specially in summer Sparrows used to come to make nests .There is something very serious that's why they have started disappearing and we are yet to discover the true reason behind . We all have to take steps to bring them back to our life otherwise we are going to miss their chirping forever. |
