About 4 bungalows around our own bungalow were demolished to make apartment blocks and hence there was constant construction activity going on for 2-3 years. I noticed that sparrows no longer came to eat the grains put out on our neighbors' terrace. All trees in our lane except two gulmohar trees abutting our compound wall were completely chopped down during this time. I never saw sparrows after the construction stopped. Green bee eaters too used to roost on a champa tree in our garden. They stopped roosting when the construction started and never came back again.

My aunt had cement filled in the gaps between the corrugated roof and the girders of the staircase duct precisely because sparrows nested in it and dirtied the staircase. After that sparrows would make occasional unsuccessful attempts at finding nesting places in curtain pelmets, but after this I never saw a sparrow nest.

Sparrows would come to eat breadcrumbs kept on the window sill. Sizable flocks of say 10-20 could be seen on grains spread out on terraces for drying. Sparrows could be seen taking dust baths alongside roads. In my house sparrows would make nests between the iron girder and the corrugated roof top of the staircase duct.

My mother used to place crumbs of bread on the window sill and sparrows would surely come to eat the crumbs. Also along the roads withing the colony there were dusty patches where I could see at least 10-20 sparrows having a dust bath every morning. The sparrows also would always try to make nests under the curtain pelmets in our house.
