Ramani Palle - Naoroji Road, Maharanipeta Chinna Waltair Vishakhapatnam Andhra Pradesh

Our huge house at Maharanipeta was demolished for the construction of a new apartment complex. The loss of trees around and ventilators, nooks and corners of the house was a big loss to the little beings; therefore, when I visited Vizag in 2009, there were literally no sparrows. However, to my great delight, this time, when I went there in April 2012, I observed a few of them coming back to my uncle's house alongside the demolished structure. They were not so numerous as before, nor were they very frequent visitors, (maybe 3-4 times a week), but still they were there. My aunt feeds them daily with grains. I do hope their number gradually increases.


Ramani Palle - Naoroji Road, Maharanipeta Chinna Waltair Vishakhapatnam Andhra Pradesh

Visakhapatnam is my hometown, and I visited it every year during the time period reported, sometimes even staying for 2-3 months at a time. At that time, there were several sparrows all over, however, I was too busy with my own little babies to look for their nests. But they used to come clamouring for rice grains scattered for them on our terrace.
