I do have some pots near my kitchen window too where I observe some sparrows chirping away in the morning. I leave a basin with water and some bajra in a pot for feeding them. But mostly crows and pigeons eat it up. I do keep some small pots with seedlings. These sparrows feast on the young plant leaves. They also like to peck on tulsi leaves.
We do have some trees remaining around our society which keeps these birds like sparrows and mynas staying on. |
