Most of the times, these House Sparrows were seen foraging along with Eurasian Tree Sparrows which are also equal in numbers here.

I do not think number of Sparrows declined around my house in last 15 years. The number varies from season to season possibly due tolocal migartion. In my opinion in Kolkata city the number of Sparoows have not declined too much - as the city still has many housed / building where they can build nests.
Atleast 25-30 Sparrow bathe daily in the water tub that I provide during the peak summertime. They regularly nest in my house.
Number of Sparrows ( and other seed eating birds who used to damage the corps during the harvesting time) declined sharply in the agricultural belts in South Bengal possibly due to excessive use of pesticides.

WE have sparrows every morning at the window. chirping continuously as if htye have come to wake us up. They must be 2 -3 in number. I usually leave some grains & water at the window for them to eat.
They are to be seen since a week or so. I must not have noticed sparrows since many months beforw that.

Have been living in this locality from 1984 onwards. Have seen lots of these sparrows in those day in this area. We used to feed the birds raw rice everyday and we would find a huge flock of about 30 to 50 birds come and feast at our house.
With the advent of globalization and increase in vehicular population the decline in the numbers was clearly visible as they stopped coming by the beginning of 1990.
Am not sure if the mobile towers were responsible for this dwindling in numbers as i have seen these birds in numbers in places in Nilgiries like Ooty, Coonoor Etc. where inspite of the presence of mobile towers there is still a large population of sparrows.
