Started with 3 nest boxes and now have installed 8 wooden & other material nest boxes only for Sparrows in my house premise walls.
Put up specially Sparrow feeders of wood and plastic bird feeders, regularly filled with sparrow feed of Bajri, Ragi & Chena.
Every year we have had great success with the birds breeding and nearly 4-5 chicks survive every year, with parent birds using same nests year after year.

I am keen birder and have dedicated some space in the veranda of my house for 02 nests only for sparrow’s since past 02 years. We place fresh water & grass seeds for small birds to feed.
2011 Jan- April = 01 pair was nesting in one of the boxes, the first hatch was of 03 chicks out which all chicks survived till 30 March 2011. Observation – Very bold birds not bothered with our presence in the verandha. Male bird had a tumor or some sort of wound on its wings but this did not hinder in fulfilling his fatherly duties. He is not to be seen for past 07-8 months.
2012 Feb = Currently 01 new pair is nesting in one box, the pair is very shy to human movement in the veranda but are trying to get use to our presence. The birds are collecting nesting material and using the old ones left by the last years pair.
Would surely like to make my contribution to Sprarrow revival, at a given time i have counted 25 – 30 birds in and around my residence. Observation – The high number is due to farm land nearby our residence, lot of tree cover around, lot of nooks & corners for nesting in colony.
