| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | This a green and quiet space, i see many birds of different types in my garden, but very few house sparrows. As a child, house sparrows were very common and we hardly got excited seeing them. They made nest in our house, behind photo frames, and ventilation spaces. They would often come and peck at their own image in our mirror at home. Today, we see very few and never inside the house. In my garden i have placed a wooden box hoping it would attract birds.For two years it was vacant and found no takers! But i am happy to notice, that finally it appears to have found some buyers... i have noticed that just recently there is dried grass being colleced in the box... i am excited and i wait to see what will happen in the next few days. |
