| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | We have been living there since April 2010. At beginning I noticed 2 sparrows from our balcony and they had built the nest in 2nd floor balcony in our building. We are living in 1st floor.
I used to put some rice (not boiled) and water in our balcony and they used to come to have them. I used to feed some squirrles out there our balcony too. Sometimes I went to our neighbours flat to watch the sparrows in their nest. But when they vacated the flat the nest gone too, I think. I never went there after the new tenants moved in. But I continued to put them rice and water and they didn't come along. I was desperate.
But at one day to my surprise, I saw them having the food which I put for the squirrles. Now there are 4 to 6 of them there having the food from outside our balcony. I was happy to see them again and I am. But they didn't come into our balcony. I always want them in our balcony. And I hope it will happen soon. We are planning to make them a nest by ourselves in our balcony and hope they will recognize that soon and come back to us. :) |
