It is widely said that the Cellphone Towers are the reason for the dwindling of the sparrows from our midst. Since childhood I grew up with sparrows in our house. Domesticated cats are the first enemy of the Sparrows, then come the ceiling fan. During the late sixties when ceiling fans were not in widespread use, sparrows were abundant. usually the sparrows build their nests inside our houses. when the ceiling fans were fixed they often get hit by them. I tried building nests from boxes outside the house,initially the sparrows colonised them but later the squirrels chased them away to occupy these nests, Due these factors these tiny birds are not found anymore now. So sad.
