Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?they are very cute and shy..:-) they just fly away.. chirp. Would love very much to make these sparrows build their nests in my home.. with flat and tall structures invading our space, sparrows are on the verge of being extinct in the city space. I have bought a sparrow nest and bird feeder, but some not have managed to mount it in the wall, for the simple reason that the splashing of rain water may kill them. Do give in your suggestions and views. I see sparrows surprsingly coming to my home and feeding on the rice grains. earlier we had huge in number, but with the recent tall structures and flats coming in, their population has been cut down..
