I have seen sparrows since my childhood. my parental home is in old delhi and it still is. there was a small hole in the street wall infront of our courtyard and as far as I can remember it was always inhabited by sparrows. The hole was high and it was beyond my reach but I could see the birds flying in and out of it and occassionally hear the cries of the babies. Some unfortunate incidents are there when the birds got hit with our ceiling fan and died.
Our kitchen was in the courtyard and my dadi or mother would keep roti for them. whenever I tried to feed the birds rice my dadi would tell me not to do so cause this would disrupt the egg formation inside the female. I never listened, all I wanted was that the birds should not be hungry and so let them eat rice(which they definitely relished).
I now live in rohini,new delhi and my relationship with these birds has'nt changed. There are abt 5-6 birds coming to my terrace everyday, for bajra and water. |
