Kalyani Nagar Kalyani Nagar Pune Maharashtra
I sit in my house every morning and look across at the building where the 3rd floor house has been lying locked up for the past 1 year. I sip on my "chai" in the morning and look forward to seeing the birds flying across in the cool breeze. There is a family of sparrows, which has been putting grass inside the holes in the wall where the TV cable wires are going into the house. I see the sparrows go in turn by turn and its funny to see the small birds trying to manage a long blade of dry grass hanging from the beak and trying to fly at the same time. But this is a determined lot - I am glad they are. I had assumed that I will never see the sparrows in Pune, but here they are. I have grown up in Delhi, with sparrows as part of our regular growing up routine - we would feed them, keep water for them and they were always a pleasure to have around. I am hopeful that the family of sparrows like it here and decide to settle in. They are definitely good neighbors !

Farm House, Ramayanpatti Tirunelveli Tamil Nadu
My family has been living at this location (a farm surrounded by shrub forests) since the 1970's and as far as my memory serves, i always saw Sparrows during my childhood, they used to make their nests inside the house even, in old chandeliers and we would not use the lights till the nests were abandoned. And since the 1990's, they were spotted occasionally and now it is extremely rare to spot these wonderful birds.

Took some good photographs and posted them on INW. Would like some agency to use them to propagate the cause of house sparrow conservation
