| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | The place is my native place. I have been there in the village from 1984. Back then, there was a time when there were lots of cute little sparrows flying all around the houses and temples. But as time went by, in the recent days when i visit the place i see very less number of those birds compared to the time when i was a kid. There are big houses which can be an ample nesting area for them. But still i see a very less number compared to the past. I am not sure if this is due to the climatic change which i can feel the difference over these 27 years. |
