| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | a baby sparrow spotted on staircase of our building. almost grown up. But no matured sparrows spotted nearby. It was making sound sometimes but no answer from its parents. It was a time of evening, so i kept it on upper staircase and closed terrace door to protect from night enemies which I dont know about . I looked at 11:00 pm and in the morning, it was still there, sitting in a corner. As we have lot of crows also I decided to keep it out after around 10:00 am, as at this time crows go to different places . As planned i took it to the ground when i noticed some sparrows nearby and no crow. It immediately mixed with their group. Monitored the situation for about half an hour, it was all safe for the new bird sparrow. |
