Semmiagudi, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu Thanjavur Tamil Nadu
There were no biuldings, no traffic, no towers with just 3000 people around in 1983. Sparrows were seen frequently then. In 2001- 2003 sparrows started declining because of no vacant land or any cultivation now. Pondy dry in summers and waterways are polluted. People used to bathe there when it was not polluted. Now they dont.

The number of nests have decreased since 2009. The reason may be deforestations and building of the secretariat residence.

Since childhood i have always admired birds and since 50 years i have been making a small cardboard box nest for the sparrows. I used to leave rags of jute or gunny sacs so that the sparrows could pick it up and use it as a nesting material. Today it has been 25 years since I started the Orphanage home at Hosur and I still make the cardboard boxes for the little sparrows and paint on them so that the nest has windows and doors and fix them at different corners. I have seen sparrows using these make-shift nests and also raising chicks. They used two types of food i) left over foods ii) insects, grubs and worms from my garden which is completely organic and I never used pesticides. Compared to previous years now in the period of 2010-2012 not many sparrows visit but i always have a pair of two sparrows who nest.
