Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?Number of sparrows are reducing day by day, month by month, and year by year in our area Some years ago there ware 50 to 70 sparrows divided in groups in our single colony. But now i hear occasionally the chattering of sparrows. Now i consider my self lucky even if i saw 5 sparrows on trees. People cut the houses of birds and built there own houses.
