again i started seeing sparrows when i changed my residence to kanchipuram.it tried to build a nest in our verandah last year.my wife who was born & brought up at chennai was very much excited on seeing sparrows.she said she used to see sparrows only when she used to visit her grandmas house a village near villupuram.not only sparrow we see a variety of birds which we dont usually see at chennai.but definitely no of sparrows is less when compared to those days(childhood days).glad that they visit our house nowadays.maybe since vedanthangal bird sanctuary is nearby we are seeing variety of birds.no. of crows is definitively less when compared to chennai

balugurusamy street Iyappa Nagar Pallavaram Tamil Nadu
we lived in suburban chennai(3km from pallavaram near pammal)from 1975 to 1990.we changed residence within the same locality 3 or 4 times.it was not very well developed like now.my father was very fond of pet animals.we had a dog,5-6 pigeons,couple of rabbits,a dozen hen etc in our house.sparrows used to frequent our house almost daily.they used build nests in our verandah,hall.building of nests was considered auspicious,so we never disturbed the nests.there are occassions we would observe fledglings of sparrows & eggs in nest.mom would keep rice as a custom for crow everyday which she follows even now.many birds visited our house then (crow,sparrows,pigeon varieties etc).nowadays it is very difficult to observe even crows.
