| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I am an avid bird watcher and get to see lot of birds neighbourhood and in the open area, which was earlier a lake right adjacent to my house. Since last year, i have been having a bird feeder mainly for sparrows. After a month or more after putting the feeder, sparrows started coming regularly to feed. I see sparrows everyday coming to feed in the mornings and evenings. The numbers certainly seem to have gone up since last year. They often come in pairs or groups to feed. I first had a plastic feeder, which i collected from "save the sparrow" campaign and now use a bowl to keep the feed.
I would love to know what more i can do to keep the sparrows coming. |
