When i was 10 years old my village used to be with full of houses made with Grass (Huts) i use to find many number of nests and sparrows even i use to some times touch them (you can imagine how the population would be). Slowly people started constructing buildings in the place of huts. The climate also drastically started changing 9from cool climate to hot climate)Low rainfall is also a bigger problem now they cannot even get water.
Finally if the trend continues next generation can see them in zoological parks/photos - may become extinct |
