| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Priyanshi- my friend's daughter is 8 years old kid, when she visited our house few weeks back she was curious to see clay nests fixed in our bungalow for Sparrows. She took 3 clay nests to her place and told my friend to fix them up there. She also took "kang" along with it and for the past 4 weeks she made sure that the fresh supply of water and "kang" is provided in their garden even when there were no Sparrows seen in her garden then. Now after one month, this afternoon she called up saying that " Kaka, I have got Sparrows in my garden and one couple has started nesting in"... she was super excited as she had seen House Sparrows for the first time in her life !!!! Incidents like this make us feel that future generation of Sparrows are in safe hands of kids like Priyanshi... |
