The year 1984.There was a hailstorm one night and the next morning we saw 50 to 60 sparrows strewn all around the garden.It was a sad sight. Most of the sparrows lying there completely wet and dazed. My daughters and I collected all the ones that were alive and kept them on a sari infront of the heater to dry.Our dog , a labrador retriever, was quite disgusted with us! We managed to save most of the sparrows, the ones who died were given a decent burial.Those days one could see plenty of sparrows, unlike today.
