Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?A pair of sparrows have built a nest under an A/c unit fixed on my apartment balcony. This is the second season I am seeing them, and they are recognisable, and obviously a couple! This season they have bred twice, the first had 4 young ones, the second has two. The pair of sparrows are quite used to our presence on the balcony, and dont seem at all scared. Watching them has been a great pleasure. Needless to say, the AC has remained unused to avoid harming the birds.
