| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | This place I am referring to is about 2 kms from my house. Earlier about 4- 5 years back we used to see them in front of my house in the morning every day and we used to keep some pulses or rice and some water in a coconut shell for them to drink. But we don't see them near my place may be due to 2 mobile towers and increase in the number of buildings around my house. But I get a chance to see them near the place where I go for my morning walk ie near AGS layout particularly near the Himagari temple some small bushes and shrubs are there on the way to this temple. I watch them for about half an hour every day and cherish these . since I don't have a good camera I am unable to take photos. right now the temple does not have frequent visitor and no building are there around this. But I am afraid once this is filled I am going to miss them. |
