sky city apartments, opp.sreevaru venkateswarlu kalyana mandapam Ganapathy Nagar, Vanagaram Chennai Tamil Nadu
I have been visiting vanagaram Chennai very frequently for the past 1-1/2 years. there is a water body which is formed due to bricks kiln which was functioning some years back and the main source of water is the drainage water from the surrounding apartments which is being drained into the water body apart from rain water. there are Many trees in the vast spread of open land . I have seen king fishers, koyals, mynahs, pigeons, ducks , cranes, wood peckers, and very small birds which I guess are humming birds or love birds as the locals area calling them apart from crows and squirrels. The humming birds drink water coming out of our air conditioner’s outlet and also bathe in that water which drops out. They are I think around 4 cms. in length . All these days I could not see even one sparrow. But today to my surprise I saw a sparrow couple flying. I sat for a long time to confirm to myself whether they are sparrows or any other bird species, though I was sure by the way they were flying that they were sparrows. My patient wait did not go waste. They came again and I could clearly see that they were sparrows. I immediately got the idea that I should inform you about this.
Many buffalos cows and sheep also come here every day to bathe and drink water.
Unfortunately from the past one month hectic activity is going on for some construction work which is going to, I think , destroy the water body and all the trees etc. in this area. The whole place is being filled with mud. I heard a very reputed builder is planning to build a multi-storied building in this area.

MADDILAPALEM Seethammadhara Vishakhapatnam Andhra Pradesh
YES. DURING THIS PERIOD I GOT INTO MY NEW FLAT WITH MY TWO TEENAGE CHILDREN. WE ALL HAVE A SPECIAL LIKING TOWARDS ANIMALS AND BIRDS. WE LOVE TO OBSERVE THEM. WE PUT GRAINS AND RICE WATER ETC. SOMETIMES WE WOULD SWITCH OFF THE FANS SO THAT THE SPARROWS WHICH VISIT OUR ROOMS DO NOT GET HURT. WE ALSO HAD SEVEN CATS AT ONE POINT OF TIME IN OUR FLAT. NOW OF COURSE, THE BIRDS, THE CATS AND MY CHILDREN, ALL HAVE MOVED OUT. ONLY MY 92 YEAR MOTHER AND I AM STAYING. ONLY TODAY AGAIN I SAW A SPARROW VISIT MY FLAT AND IT WAS SURVEYING THE SAME SPOT WHERE DURING 2000-2004 A PAIR OF SPARROWS WERE ALWAYS BUSY BUILDING NESTS AND BRINGING UP THEIR YOUNG ONES FOR ALMOST TEN YEARS. SOMETIMES THE JUST HATCHED ONES WOULD FALL DOWN FROM THE NEST. WE USED TO FEEL VERY BAD. I WISH THE SPARROWS WILL AGAIN ACCOMPANY US.
