| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I am living in a rented Apartment (2 story ) from June-2010 @ Saragam Society , Lane #01, near Kakade City , Waraje Naka, Pune -52. I used to listen to House Sparrow Chirping in morning. And hence started to keep rice and water in my gallery's window. I waited for more than 4 months, but Sparrows never used to come there. But , from last 1 year they are my like my family members who dine in my gallery. Now they have become a little fearless. Initially there were 4-6 Sparrows. But in last Diwali vacations, when we came back from our native place there were only 2 of them (1 male and 1 Female). I was so upset that I thought it was my fault that I didn't put enough of seeds to feed them. I saw yesterday morning 3 Males and 2 Females and now very happy. Timings : Morning - 3-4 rounds from 6-8 am Evening - only once from 5.30 -6 pm I love feeding them and I would love if they grow in number. |
