Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?House Sparrows are welcome in our neighbourhood and many families keep eatables and water outside their kitchen window or on the apartment boundary walls that sparrows, mynas, and pigeons relish. Thankfully, because of many trees around and a planned garden that the apartment complex has, sparrows do find many branches to perch on although I have never noticed a specific nest. I frequently have seen 4-6 sparrows playing all day just outside my house, sitting on a guava tree. My 5 year old has made a nest for them and hopes that it will be occupied soon.
