| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Before a few years there were some 100 sparrows but their number gradually increased and at present they are more than 500 in numbers.All the day they spend their time in different places of the colony as some in temple, house, shop, and so on but in the evening they come in my garden to spend their night.Once a cat came in the time of midnight and there was such a noise made by them that even in the time of winter, as you know Rajasthan is known for chill winter and hot summer, so we were sleeping in the deep inner part of our house but the noise was such as if they were chattering in front of us.I woke up and saw that the cat was the cause.I took a stick and seeing me with the stick the cat ran away.From that very day I have made this one of my habits to care these birds that before going to bed I carefully observe amd make sure that they are safe.In my absense my family members do the same.In fact we have become familiar with one another.We love them and they love us too, WE BELIEVE. |
