| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | They used to come to my flat at 6th and top floor og the Om shree apartments. to feast on any remnant food etc. If I remember correctly they'd tried multiple times to build a nest on top of the tubelight at home. However my roommates from Mumbai were totally against any bird nesting in the house, and freaked out even if tehy see a house lizard or a cockroach. So tehy never let the sparrows have a success.
I dont know if theya re still there, but I think they should be as it was relatively calm area with not too much of human activity. |
