| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | in our home we have one golden arali tree which flowers in yellow.I used to see many sparrows in day time. I think its because its safest place also yellow flowers attracted house sparrows.Also i noticed that in our bathroom i observed a nest..so we can conclude sparrows like a place where human movement is less..we used to have water in open buckets in nearby areas.Thus in our house sparrow feels safer, gets shelter , water and food...we never disturbed them ..once a little sparrow fell down ..so we again laid it on the nest.... don't dismantle the sparrow's nest.it will have bad reactions in our family lives also..our ancestors used to say that sparrows wont put nest at all places .if you have nest in our home,you are lucky..something good will happen to our family..they are also god's creatures !..they know well the rainy season or unwanted changes in climate..so knowing this, immediately they will reach their nest safely.Who knows in our next birth , we may be a house sparrow!!!!lets save our ancestors!!!!march 20 is my birthday and also house sparrow's birthday!!!!,....i celebrated my birth day with hose sparrows!!!! |
