I would like to give you some suggestions that please visit all city areas where placed "CHABUTARAs"((The Gujarati Word)- the place where any people put down some different types of foods for all type of birds) as they are very precious and very costly. Also please start a Three Wheeler (Tempo) to go to all places where is located "CHABUTARA" every day with loaded of sparrow nesthouses to be placed where it would be necessary and the tempo is also full of sparrow foods like wheet,bajari,kanki,small rice,mamra etc... (gujarati language words) and the tempo guy must be filled sparrow food pots and water pots everyday and put down nesthouses as required places in all his daily activities. These daily activities will definitely boost up sparrow numbers in ahmedabad city old areas (Raipur, Gomtipur etc...) in Pole areas / Old Residential Areas. And also make sure that put down water pots alongwith food pots as required/observed places so, sparrow numbers will surely increasing in very sort time. I hope you will take some serious and quick steps and help sparrows. Thanks with Best Regard, Vimal Patel Patwa Sheri, Gomtipur, Ahmedabad - 380 021. Gujarat. INDIA M:- 09898 106711
