Vasant Kunj Malls Vasant Kunj II New Delhi Delhi
I often see sparrows inside the mall, specifically in the food court of the mall and almost always flitting about the palm trees planted there. I once saw a pair building a nest inside one the chandelier lights in the lower floor of the mall. I have also seen birds in the underground parking area.

Residential Colony Mahmoorganj Varanasi Uttar Pradesh
Sparrows gather in large numbers to feed on any grains that we put out on the roof of our house. There are also many birds seen frequently in the large garden in front of the house.

Residential Colony Vasant Vihar New Delhi Delhi
I live in a residential colony which is one of the greenest parts of Delhi. There are hundreds of trees lining the streets and many parks as well. It also lies right next to a part of the South Delhi Ridge, which is a Reserved Forest. In the past 8-10 years, almost all sparrows have disappeared from the area. The colony has also undergone many changes; single story bungalows have become 3 or 4 story houses, and there is continuous construction going on all year round. However, the greenery of the area has not been compromised at all.
I remember days from my childhood when sparrows would nest in the ventilation windows of my house, and it wasn't uncommon to find atleast one nest with a few squabbling chicks in the spring and summer seasons. They were almost pestilential, and my mother had a wire mesh put across the windows to prevent them from nesting there. Not a day would go by when I didn't see sparrows in and around the house. No one could have thought at that time that they were almost on the verge of disappearance.
