Bhaskar Das - Naktala Bansdroni Kolkata West Bengal



I do not think number of Sparrows declined around my house in last 15 years. The number varies from season to season possibly due tolocal migartion. In my opinion in Kolkata city the number of Sparoows have not declined too much - as the city still has many housed / building where they can build nests.
Atleast 25-30 Sparrow bathe daily in the water tub that I provide during the peak summertime. They regularly nest in my house.

Number of Sparrows ( and other seed eating birds who used to damage the corps during the harvesting time) declined sharply in the agricultural belts in South Bengal possibly due to excessive use of pesticides.
