The Sparrows used to built nest in the corners of our house and lay eggs too. After hatching, the parent sparrows go around and bring food the young ones. After certain days the small ones come out of their nest and fly away. Then the parent sparrows leave the place and return to begin the same process.. But now it is too difficult spot one.

During my childhood, a few built nest and lived with us.They built nest in the corner of the ceiling supported by wooden plank. They made us glad and rarely they were hit by the ceiling fan. We used to bury the dead, fixing a cross on the mound. i personally miss them ; now occasionally seen nearby my residence. protecting them from extinction is crucial.

Now i am 27 years Old-

When i was 10 years old my village used to be with full of houses made with Grass (Huts) i use to find many number of nests and sparrows even i use to some times touch them (you can imagine how the population would be). Slowly people started constructing buildings in the place of huts. The climate also drastically started changing 9from cool climate to hot climate)Low rainfall is also a bigger problem now they cannot even get water.

Finally if the trend continues next generation can see them in zoological parks/photos - may become extinct
