| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | These sparrows nest within 4 palm trees inside our campus which is rectangular in shape with a park in the middle. They fly away early in the morning and return in the evening. They make a nice few circuits overhead and also settle down on the terrace in a big group. Crows often harass them but they are small and swift and get away. They live totally undisturbed even though surrounded by people and we really enjoy hosting them. I have some photographs that I can post. |
