Hi ! I have a bird feeder and had got it operational by enticing sparrows to eat from the bird feeder. This was last february -2011. There were about 2-3 sparrows initially after around 8 months in Oct 11' there were around 10-12 sparrows visiting daily..chirping and enjoying...this year in february there was again a decrease to around 3-4. Now a days there are 3-4 nos. Its a bit saddening to note the decrease ....( not sure if it is because of change in season )
Currently the house is under renovation but the sparrows come regularly.
The bird feeder has attracted the sparrows and if lots of people are taught how to use it.. sparrows will not have to leave the city.
The problem is two fold ...people buy bird feeders i am sure...but the problem is how to entice the sparrow to eat from the feeder. Our bird feeder was idle for 2years as i just did not know how to get the birds to feed from it ..initially i tried for a day or two and then gave up..tried again after 2 years ....it took me more than a fortnight to get the first sparrow to understand how to eat from it. The piegons learn faster ..but are very messy ...just like the crow who learns from the piegons...copycat bird.
Second issue is availability of the bird feeder ...we luckily got ours from US where it is easily available
..its made in China for sure...not sure where we can get one in India....might just start my own manufacturing if u guys support !!!!

I AM REPORTING FOR 2010-2012 BUT I SAW A GRADUAL DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF BIRDS SINCE 2001 ONWARDS. BUT SINCE WHEN WE HAVE GROWN A VARIETY OF TREES AROUND OUR HOME, SPECIALY THE LOCAL SPECIES LIKE JAMUN,AMALTAS,BANYAN,NEEM, GULMOHAR, MADHUMALTI ETC, I COULD SEE A SHARP INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF BIRDS. THE PRESENCE OF SPARROWS HAVE INCREASED TOO. RIGHT NOW THERE IS A NEST OF SPARROW IN MY ELECTRICITY-METER, WHICH WAS A FREQUENT SEEN WHEN I WAS A KID. OTHR BIRDS LIKE DOVE,CROW,COMMN MYNA, BLACK & WHITE MYENA, PIGEONS, AND EVEN GREEN PIGEON, ALONGWITH PODNA

I shifted to my new residence in 2011 April. From this time till today i have seen a number of sparrows flying.Six sparrows regularly visit us in the balcony as i put for them murmura and rice grains. I have also kept a jar of water for them.I have a few pictures taken recently.

Sparrows are mostly daily visitors to my neighbour's home. Old mama living over there made them as her friends. She always provide them with rice, cereals etc. Now even little delay in it they went inside her home and make noise to ask their share.

I visit this place almost twice a day and despite of the fact that there is quite a bit of greenery around this campus I never remember seeing sparrows here...
