Dr. Aparna Bagwe -
ACTREC 60 acre campus, Sector 22, Kharghar Kharghar Navi Mumbai Maharashtra
I used to see lots of house sparrows near my home in Goregaon, Mumbai in the past. My building is surrounded by trees planted by us. But over the past few years, maybe even a decade or more, their numbers have definitely gone down. I have not seen a sparrow there for quite some time - the birds there are crows, pigeons and we see koels, parrots. Our ashoka trees house a colony of bats since my childhood.
Surprisingly, and thankfully, I have found that there are still lots of sparrows at my campus in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. This is an area with lots of trees again. The sparrows here come into our canteen and peck at food scraps. Some of my colleagues deliberately leave scraps for them near the window. It is a delight to see them prosper here.
