| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Our house is located in a tea estate and there is a moderate expanse of agricultural land also. Fortunately, it has not been touched by the wrath of urbanisation. We see sparrows every single day. There are two sparrows that hop inside our house everyday looking for food. Since all of us are away from our home, my mother has grown very fond of the little sparrows. She gets upset every time we talk about the declining number of sparrows. If there is anything our family can do to save the few remaining in our area, we would immediately put in our efforts. |
