Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I am delighted to share that the time period I have mentioned made me feel haapy as I could see a fair no. of sparrows on my terrace. In my childhood we played with sparrows feeding them but for the next few years there was not even a single sparrow to be spotted. Gradually as time passed again sparrows are back to the locality. We keep grains and a bowl of water for the birds on our terrace. Also we have made a terrace garden,which is seen at few more houses. I think this is one reason the little birds are back as they find some green shade for themselves.
