Today was the happiest moment of my life. Saw close to 50 sparrows both male and female aroung 8 a.m. in our garden. Looked like Navi Mumbai Sparrows Conference! Some gathered on the fence, some were sitting on the plants and ground...seemed to be having some serious discussion.We always feed them cooked rice and also uncooked rice, biscuits,etc.
Got up early, made tea for mom and me and woke her up. Also showed her the sparrows. Mom was delighted :) It was a real treat to watch almost 50 sparrows today on Mother's Day :) Photos posted in Facebook page of Citizen Sparrow.
A mother sparrow is the epitome of love...cares for her chicks. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers. |
