| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | The Sariska Palace Hotel is located in the middle of a forest near the famous tiger sanctuary.
The hotel serves breakfast in the palace lawns and a number of birds, mainly mynas, crows and sparrows were seen in good numbers during a visit in March 2010.
The birds stay near the tables where guests eat, waiting for crumbs to fall or hop on to the tables the moment the guests get up.
I started throwing crumbs on the lawn around the table and all the birds including sparrows flocked around to feed. It was a fun thing to do and watch the birds as they grew bolder and came quite near to feed. |
