| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Roughly 2-3 years back, only two sparrows came to home. My father was shocked as he saw the sparrows on the window grills. Because nearly we did not see the sparrows for about 5 years in that locality. In the 1990s and early 2000, there were a very large number of sparrows and even built the nests in our home. However, they disappeared accidentally after 2004-2005.
Now, we are very happy to see the sparrows again. Every morning, noon and evening we put rice grains to them. We may miss the time to put the grain but the dont.
All The Best
Thank You
