Some times we put the some food in the nest but I don't know why the sparrow put them down. may be they dont get something without labor.
Usually at the time of break-fast / lunch sparrow waiting for some food from some distance.
There was a small pond in front of my colony, I used to see from my window, hours on daily basis that hundreds of sparrows bathing in winter also.
Some time hunting by crow/cat or dead by any cause we buried the sparrow near the pond.
