| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I used to provide water, food i.e., in the farm of rice grain daily. So they are coming to my house terrace. If there is less food they use to quarrel, they romance very nicely. Previously there were trees around our house, now they have been cut off, so they are going away for their shelter. If the house is build with mud they will establish their nest , because of concrete buildings they are not in a position to establish their nest. People say their population is decreasing because of following reasons. 1) No water, no food, no conditions of shelter. 2) Farmers spraying insecticide to control crop insect. If this dead insect is eaten by sparrow they too will die. 3) Mobile waves are also reason to decreasing their Population. |
