Village Jaisingh Pur Distt Meerut UP Meerut Uttar Pradesh
The village is surrounded by large cultivated land and mango orchards. The main crop is sugarcane and potato. Both need a large quantity of pesticides and insecticides. No trees in the fields and very few in and around houses in comparison to what used to be 20 years back. pigeons and crows are visible and sufficient in numbers. Pigeons can breed in houses but sparrows not seen. I remember sparrow would nest in the ceilings made up of tiles in the houses and no body would disturb them. Today houses are that of RCC linters and ceiling fans even in villages have de-sheltered this domesticated bird. Perhaps it is paying the price of being nearest to man.

Dwarka DDA Flats Sector 9 Dwarka, Raj Nagar New Delhi Delhi
Very Few birds. The reason appears to be lack of high trees enough to give shelters to them. The trees are pruned regularily destroyning their places. Secondly the place is near the airport which is again not afavorable place for birds due to noise and environmental pollution.

Sector 12 R K Puram Near Gauri Mandir Sector 12 R K Puram, RamaKrishna Puram New Delhi Delhi
I generally see a pair of sparrow comming to my balcony for feeding the grains we put their for birds in the morning. My wife says that there are one or two pairs more and thats it. I repent that I have never seen a nest even in the trees around my house. R K Puram Sector 12 is fairly green area
