They used to enter us house when our mom used to clean her rice and wheat in the Varanda of our house, they used to come inside sit on the fan n then move out, they had no fear of us.., they used to fight against each others , they used to lay eggs and we used to even hear those tweets , sometimes it happens that the kids used to fall out from the nest on the floor and die else fall inside the well n die. After 4PM , they used to be on the trees on the street sides and fight and tweet . there voice was heard so loud.
