Chedda Nagar colony Chedda Nagar Mumbai Maharashtra
We keep pt food and water for the birds, and sparrows do come and eat, but they are often harrased by crows, which allow no other birds to approach the feeder till they have had their fill... so we often put out some food first for the crows and then after the crows are all gone, put out some more food again.... though the crows do come again, they go away sooner and the sparrows, bulbuls and parakeets come and eat.
The only reason I can see for the presence of so many birds is that the locality is isolated, in spite of being so near the highway. time seems to have passed us by, and due to a court case over the salt pan land our colony is built on, no new buildings or development can take place, thus keeping the area intact, just the way it was about 40 years back! though we rue the problems due to the case, it does ensure that the birds have plenty of space and trees to live and eat on!
