That time we always heard "Chiv-Chiv" of these birds. At evening time my mother always clean rice for cooking purpose. At that time she through some rice for them in our corridor and the scenary after that was awesome. A group of about 8 to 10 sparrow always comes there. They start doing there "Chiv-Chiv" and all its sounds like a wind bell in our house. we had a small nest of these sparrow's in our house as well.
But now a days a time has changed. we never seen any single sparrow in our area. we are eagorous to see this small creature again and i am missing my school days for these sparrow's and there "Chiv-Chiv". Now a days sparrow's are in books only. Lets do something to save this small, sweat and lovely creature.
