| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | recently, a month ago, i saw 2 sparrows in my balcony in the early morning hours. i was quite elated to see them, because its after a long time i saw them(probably in 1995/96 i saw sparrows in my grandpa's village, with lot of nests and their chirping sounds).
i was closely observing them from a distance, and i hope they were probably searching diligently for some nuts or so. i enjoyed their presence, but this joy didn't last long. after 5 min. or so were flew.
however, 2 weeks ago or so, when i was going to a temple in the early morning at 6' o clock, on the way near to my place i found some sparrows chirping. this time there were some 3/4 i hope, and do think there was a nest.
however, a sad thing to be noted is that: yesterday i noticed some sort of demolition of a building near that place, and the construction activities started. so, i was bit worried about the fate of those little lovely creatures.
