Just wanted to add that I spotted a sparrow again two days ago (June 01, 2012). They come near the window sills of the flats looking for water.

During Jan - May 1993, we lived in tiny house next Chowdiah Memorial Hall, Malleswaram, Bangalore. The house was a low-roofed one, with a couple of houses adjoining it and shared a common front-yard. I had noticed a few sparrows flying about in that area. They had actually built a nest in the corner of our house (the inner part of the living room). Eggs were laid, they hatched, baby sparrows learnt to fly about and they eventually moved out. The attitude of the people in and around home was to treat them as cohabitants of their family. Those were the days when grains of rice, wheat & other cereals were cleaned by the womenfolk in the open space, the sparrows got their feed on a regular basis. A public tap in the open (which had a bit of water around it ) served to quench their thirst. The infants grew up actually viewing the live birds (unlike the CDs that the young ones have to contend with today)

I have lived in this locality since 2005. The sparrows seems to have appeared only since 2011. They actually eat rice grains kept for them in the window sill (that is how I noticed them) However, they are few and far in number. They seem to be threatened by the presence of the larger feathered variety i.e. pigeons.
