I always saw a sparrow couple coming to drink water on the terrace of the house where i live. The first time i saw them i was jumping in excitement as they were the first sparrows i saw since i started living there.

Kavya Chimalgi - Sunbeam Apartments, Peddar Road Malviya Nagar, Tardeo Mumbai Maharashtra

I began to notice the sparrows two years ago and see about 7-15 of them often. Right next to Sunbeam Apartments, as you walk under the bougainvillea plants that grow along the compound wall of Eddy House, you can hear a large group of sparrows. But because of the plant cover, I have never been able to see them clearly.


Ramani Palle - Mecon Colony, Doranda MECON Colony, Doranda Ranchi Jharkhand

I am basically a nature lover, and my love for it was triggered by the then very beautiful hill-station that was Ranchi, in erstwhile Bihar. There was verdure everywhere; and MECON, the company where my father worked, made sure to plant several trees all along the roads of the colony. There were also several parks and individual gardens. There was plenty of animal and bird life to see around us, and even my school, Loreto Convent, was one of the most beautiful campuses with extensive grounds full of large trees, beneath which we used to have our lunch - birds and other tree creatures roaming around us, with crocuses blooming wild on the ground everywhere! How I miss those times!

We were living then in a quarter allotted to my father in MECON colony, and it was then that I fell in love with the house sparrows, which used to visit us by the score everyday, hopping on our balcony, twitting and chirping away, pushing and jostling each other for the rice grains we used to scatter for them. I used to observe them at very close quarters, and their dark, intelligent eyes bewitched me, their cleverness in removing the husk around some of the rice grains enthralled me! Since then I have remained a friend of these tiny beings which fill our lives with so much joy! It does not take much to cater to them...their needs are little, like their little beaks and tummies!

Let us join together to save these lovely creatures and all other creatures of God from extinction. If these creatures were to leave us and go away forever, owing to our foolishness and selfishness, our colourful world would be nothing but black and white. Let us share Mother Earth with all of them. It doesn't belong to just human beings. Sharing and selflessness are the key things to remember. Is the youth listening?


Ramani Palle - Alapatinagar, Mehdipatnam Food World Bus Stop, Gudi Malkapur Rd, Mehdipatnam Hyderabad Andhra Pradesh

We lived in this area for almost a year. At the time, our house was on the first floor of an independent house, and we had a long, narrow balcony right in front. We were visited by sparrows everyday, and used to feed them. They even used to make nests in convenient nooks and ventilators, which were abundant in the house, as the construction was not of the modern type. I remember once, a sparrow flew in when we were least expecting it, and it struck the ceiling fan which was on, and instantaneously died. I was only 13 years old then, and I cried my heart out. But this incident upset me so much, that I have been very careful ever since, to see that no bird is around when I am using the fan. Or if any bird wishes to enter, I make sure all the fans are off! They are too precious to lose!
