| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | yes i would, we had lovely tiled roofs and plenty of grains which we had to clean manually so we used to throw the full grain out from the rice and i had them hovering over to pick them, worms and other things were never a hindrance as they made good food for the sparrows,any space between the bulbs in the front or in the reem of the roof always had them around, they would scream to open the door in the mornign so they could go out, so made a hole in the glass ventilator facilitating an opening for them to go out freely, squirrels and sparrows used to be at the food kept for them, feeding the young as the child sparrow begging with it's wings spread out, wooing of the male like a child and their mating then starting with the nest until they flew away on their own..it was a beautiful journey along with them, wish our developments had not hindered them and the trees around always had so many birds chichichici early morning the calls were different....sundari kannan |
