I still remember those golden days, when I was going to my high school. We will have atleast 2 nests built in our house ( near ventilator openings & Electicity meter board)during every breeding season. There were a few pairs which even take our presence for granged and come into our living room and get into their nests. Occasionally they also indulge in mass sunbaths in our courtyard. I have not spent even a single day without hearing their chirping.

There was one time when a nest was build in our bedroom's attire, but the only problem was the sparrows had to come to this room thru the main entrance crossing our living room, as the bird entrance for bedroom was sealed. we had 2 sparrow chicks in the hatching chirping the whole day. It so happened that we had to leave outstation early morning (3:00 AM )and we locked our house and went.When we returned around 8:00 PM the parents were chirping and swarming around us. My Mom took some rice and kept it in the hall, both the male and the female quickly took the grains to the nest and fed the chicks. From that day, we made sure that no ventilators are sealed in our house.
