The sparrows numbers have quite dwindled compared to my childhood days at the same place.

The reasons may be cutting of old trees and non planting of new trees in particular which have fruits and have dense foliage or leaves so that only small birds can live on it like sparrows.

Also mobile towers may be reason for weak and non healthy new born sparrows. I also observe that this may not be the main reason as their numbers were already very low before introduction of mobile tower at our building but may be a additional negative effect with non planting of fruit bearing trees as particular reason behind their less numbers of sparrows.

I have in our balcony some flower pots and in addition a money plant which has a dense foliage which provide a little shelter to them during the summers. Also i have used boxes and other items in my balcony to help them having a safe place for nesting and also protection from various predators like crows,etc.

Hope my little effort may prevent them from being extinct.
