Nita Puri - residential area Chanakya Puri New Delhi Delhi

We lived in a house with open verandahs and the sparrows flew in and out all the time.They made nests in the cups under the ceiling fans and we were always afraid that the sparrows would get killed.The fans were not used if they made their nests and the chicks hatched.There was a medium sized guava tree in the back yard and hundreds of sparrows came to roost in the evening ant the chirping of so many sparrows was music to our ears.


Nita Puri - School Bharti Nagar New Delhi Delhi

My daughter Shivani teaches in a school in the Sujan Singh Area, and sparrows are often seen in the school garden which is close to the old Sujan Singh Park flats. Being an old building it probably has suitable nesting places as the sparrows fly into the building and out into the school grounds .

It is my appeal to all people who construct their own independent houses - Please make some nook or corner of the exterior of the house sparrow - friendly where they can build nests. Most modern buildings simply have no places where house sparrows may nest. If possible, do plant some trees and leave food and water out for the birds.
