| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Sparrow nests used to be there inside our house, i remember i had made a home for them in carton box leaving a big door for them to go inside, and the sparrow's used to stay there for couple of months, used to lay eggs, and bring food for kids from outside. But, i have experienced once, by mistake i touched one of the sparrow in our house, from that day - the sparrow disappeared from my house, so we use to tease the sparrow as typical indian brahmin - from 2004 onwards i rarely saw any sparrow's in bangalore, got the information that due to mobile towers the generation of sparrow is coming to end. But in 2011 i saw bunch of sparrow - tweeting in Shirdi - maharastra - may be 500+ (but my doubt on due to mobile towers the sparrow generation ends has become false now) |
