I have fond memories of going with my father right from my child hood. Most of the buildings here were victorian buildings and old houses and mansions built during 40's and 50's. Most of them have been converted into shops now.
There was ample space for the sparrows to build their nests in these old buildings away from the reach of humans. Most of the ceiling were more than 17 feet tall or inaccessible. There were lots of pigeons too. But strangely have few pigeons, but no sparrows. |
