Our House was completed in 2001 and we started living here.On one of the ventilators(facing east) of our house,a sparrow had built its nest & so I woke everyday due to the chirping of the birds......it felt so soothing.There were many sparrows living in our backyard where we have so many plants & trees.We were keeping pigeons in our house & used to feed them three times a day.Whenever we used to scatter the grains for pigeons,even the sparrows would come down in numbers and eat with them.It was such a beautiful sight & it was also my favourite passtime.Then in 2002 my sister brought a cute female parrot from my grandpa.We always took it out from its cage and left it on the ground to wander.Then it would go straight to the spot where sparrows were eating or playing and the sparrows would just see it and fly away.There were around 80 to 100 sparrows that were coming to our compound everyday.But sadly there number decreased rapidly due to some unknown reasons and since 2008,I was not able to see any sparrows in my locality.But on 17th of April 2012,I saw two sparrows drinking water from the vessel kept for pigeons...........I was so happy to see them again...though they are only two.....I really miss the time I spent with them........
