Dr.Ponna Srinivas - Excise Colony Exise Colony Hanamkonda Andhra Pradesh

We started feeding 18pairs of sparrows in our residence at Excise Colony, Hanamkonda, Andhra Pradesh since 2003. They are fond of eating bajra and I used to get them and feed regularly. The above photograph is taken when they are feeding, however some of them scared of me and jumped away. Today they are fearless move around us some times they deliberately enter into our kitchen also. We also feed them them powdered ground nuts. The nest made of using plywood has become a good shelter for them. Generally they do not live in man made nests, but you know they are also getting adjusted to the changing environment and also a process for their survival.
