I got a feeder and nest box from Natureforver. The feeder was unused as I live on ground floor, but the nest box is in use. I got one big nest box which can house 3 families. Sadly, one faces my window, so sparrows dont use that, but the other 2 are always in use. I can hear young chicks chirping for food from my bedroom. The nest box is tied outside the house below a parapet, so there is no problem of rain. We never open that window, so sparrows dont get troubled.
I can see male sparrows collecting material to build nest, so I leave some coconut coir or small pieces of thread for them. Then I can see that the sparrows keep flying to the Ashoka tree and cut tiny fresh leaves and take them into the nest. This is when the chicks hatch from eggs. After that, they start getting flies and other insects. They also love the cooked rice that we put outside and bajra. During summers, they love to drink and bathe in the water bowl I put for them.
