| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I have seen House Sparrows even around my house several times in a month, but less in number. While going in my street, rarely i will see nests in trees, but they disappear in sometime. I don't know what happened to them. Rarely I will see one or two birds on our compound wall.
I have been living here for the past 10 years. At that beginning time, there were only 8 or 10 houses in this area and there were a lot of trees also. Now, the area is almost filled by houses, rarely can see trees especially in the street. I think, for House Sparrows, even this may be a problem. When man construct houses, there Sparrow's house demolished, i think.
