Israel G Momin - Kharkutta, East GaroHills East Garo Hills Meghalaya

I lived here for the last two and half years.Sparrows were seen but not in large numbers at the time of my arrival here. Then I prohibited the hunting and disturbance to these small birds, feeding them many times a day etc. Now their number has increases to big numbers, I can see them from my bedroom window mother feeding babies, nest 5metre from where I am typing now and lots of them chirping in the open.I am sure their number will increase more and more, if we humans take care of them.

My wife regularly keeps feed for birds around our garden flat and sparrows, along with other birds are visiting the place enjoying the food. I, along with my wife hung a cardboard box inside our sit-out for nesting purpose. A pair of sparrows showed some interest in it. Female inspected it from both outside & inside and after few visits, they rejected the box for nesting purpose. We are trying again. We regularly see about four pairs of sparrows around our flat in the garden.
