Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I spent around one year in an house. In my room ceiling there was a fan socket which was empty, daily a pair of sparrow used two come whole day they the disturbed me they made the room very dirty.One day i got annoyed and fill that socket with a bundle of papers.And i before sleeping i used to close all the windows of my room.From the next day they stopped staying in my room, what they started then, daily in the morning at 6 o'clock they used to knock on my window glass, because the saw there reflection on the glass.Again it was very annoying for me. I had no other option except to leave the window open and sleep.And again they started coming but there was no place to make a nest because i had already blocked the socket, so their activity became very less in my room. At that time i was alone in my room,so apart from getting annoyed i enjoyed their company also. Now i have shifted in to new house adjacent to my old one. Here i am observing a nest of sparrow though it is in my neighbors house,But i have seen some time feeding the mother(bird) to their chicks.
