About sparrows I can only say that when i was a kid i used to see at least 20-30 sparrows daily in my balcony.That time their were less buildings over here but now its really sad because very less trees are left here. We are making our home beautiful but we are not thinking about the sparrows and other birds whose home we are destroying.Now a days the number has decreased to 5-6 but i see them daily.
