| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | During those days, Sparrows used to build their nest in my house. They were like a part of the family. Whenever Mom Sparrow came to the nest baby sparrow used to make loud chirpy sound. They used to feed insects to their child.
My mom told us that if we touch baby sparrows then they would discard that baby. Sometimes they used to fall down or cats used to come to eat the babies. At that moment sparrows used to make loud noise.
Once they were building their nest but due to wind or sth their nest fell down so my brother formed a nest kind of thing for them but they never accepted it. |
