Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I remember my student life during the period of 1975-82, when a group of house sparrows use to take away the biscuits from my study table. All the children were trained by my Grand Father to keep a earthen bowl full of Millet and a separate bowl of water for birds. I still remember our roof top to be fully covered with House Sparrows.
