Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I have got eight clay nests for the house sparrow and out of this four are occupied by them - eggs are laid and youngones nurtured. I put cereal grains and water for them. Protect them from predator birds and animals thereby giving them a safe environment for their growth. Earlier the house sparrows buid their nests in my drawing room or kitchen but since I have brought nests for them, they are more comfortable in those clay nests. Its really nice to watch sparrows chirping and making fun with each other early in the morning.
