Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I have a very interesting story to share - In 2000 My father brought a very large sheet to wrap outside our home to stop sunlight coming in our home. Our home was north facing and got sunlight whole day. In winters we rolled the blue sheet for 3-4 months. On a sunny day we open the sheet and found a nest of sparrow in it. I plan to take care of that sparrow with my brother. We used to play with her. We gave her food, water. But we forgot that we should pour water on her. After 6 days she died, we really felt bad for some days. She was such a cute Sparrow.
