| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Hi,
I did lost activities of sparrows from past some years, I guess after 2001/2002. Before that we had 2 nests in my house & i could see that birds did use to fight for territory. Then no signs of birds after 2002. Now I live a bit outskirts of Ahmedabad city, a new residential locality. In the beginning here was also no signs of sparrows, but I could see some flocks every evenings in the sky. After 2005/6 I saw one nest next door & then I notice another nest in same building. So I can be sure about two regular nests near my apartment & I know the exact location too.
