Respected sir
There are so many house sparrows in my locality. On world sparrow day i have fixed a nest on one side of my house and it is very strange to observe that after about36 to 40 hrs sparrow occupies the nest. I can spare photographs of sparrow building the nest in the nest box, if it is of any use to BNHS. Till that day I am observing the sparrows daily.
