I just came out from chair and luckily found that it was below the chair. i took the little sparrow to the corridor . there were 3 different ways for sparrows to come inside. front, back and upper side. As we had lot of sparrows i was unsure about the direction of it's parents. So I kept it in corridor and waited. after sometime from right side , i saw its parents calling him . and i was confirmed about the direction .As the window was somewhat at height, i kept the baby sparrow in window.
