| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | The area has under gone a tremendous change in past five years. There were many trees and old buildings, which were destroyed. The sparrows have neither nesting sight nor food for eating. Even though the area has a good diversity of birds like the Black Drongo, barbets, mynas and so on, but strangely enough the once populous Sparrows are missing. Its a very sad state of affairs, considering five years back they were the dominant birds. |
