| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | In the begining there is no house sparrow in our area.Only after the trees and plants grown they started visiting.Also if we use pesticides for plants we cant see them for 2 to 3 days.So i have stoped using pesticides and started using panchakavyam and neem as an alternative.
During summer i used to water the plants daily so they visit my garden daily.During nesting time they tear the leaves from areaca tree and build a beutiful nest in shoe flower plant.
Usually there will be 2 eggs.after hatching they make interesting noise.the male sparow (i think) will guard the nest sitting some where near the nest and female sparrow will feed the siblings.after 2-3 days they started to practice flying and leave the nest.they regularly come to our home for nesting |
