I regularly put food and water on the balcony ledge and mostly crows , pigeons and mynas came to feed. after a few months sparrows started coming
to feed and the regular number became about 20 - 25. Sparrows were also seen in the grounds of the Sitaram Bhartia Institute which is about half a kilometer as the crow flies.
I later moved to the fourth floor directly above the earlier apartment and the sparrows stopped coming.I tried putting grains at the ground level, but the sparrows have disappeared both in the apartment complex and in the Sitaram Bhartia Institute.
