Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I only saw pigeons in this time frame and i saw a few bats and owls mainly in the evening time. We have a lake around 5 Kms from my house but even then the amount of Sparrows i observed were very less as compared to my childhood which i spent in some other city but still sparrows were like house flies you could observe them anytime anywhere which is not a case these days.
