Hemanth - It's in the Main Road and Govt. School Srikalahasti Andhra Pradesh

Now During this period of 2011-2012 I didn't even seen a single Sparrow.The main reason i guess is due to raise in Temperatures in this summer.I've seen them previously in 2005-2011 in old residential house which is Vacant during that period.Sparrows using holes in Walls as their Nests..Now when we don have a single sparrow left recent days when we tried to keep Hay Nests for them.Apart from sparrows Crows which are Hundreds in number residing in Trees in the School were not Avaialable now due to high raise in Temperatures Recently and unavailabillity of water.It'll be better if you guys highlight our people in the campaign to keep water in their house terrace for birds during summer will save atleast half of them.We already tried this but it's too late as none of the birds are seen in our locallity.As the big trees in the School Shed off their leaves and the Birds are not having proper place to build nests during this summer


Vipul Bhatnagar - Jim Corbett National Park Ramnagar Uttarakhand

Recently I visited Jim Corbett National Park, I was pretty sure that I shall get the chance to see so many house-sparrows but in the 2 days trip, I have seen only 1 house sparrow...It was strange and I was shocked that even in jungles house sparrows are missing slowly.....
I do not know what to do but I put a small water mug in front on my house for birds...

I studied in IIIT-H and stayed in the hostel there. Our hostel was also the home for sparrows. Sparrow nests were usually found in the electricity box in the hostel.

Hi all. Sparrows are becoming endangered. These days we rarely find large number of sparrows. One of the primary reason what is causing the disappearance of sparrows is the Mobile radiations. To my part, I have seen two sparrows recently with a nest beside one of tree near my home. I daily put some water and few grains so that sparrows survive with the scorching heat and high temperatures


bharathi lahiri - oswal park complex Thane West Thane Maharashtra

At the beginning of 2010 I had put in my window sill up a small wooden box meant for sparrows to nest in. After a month or so a sparrow couple managed to use it as a breeding place. Being fond of photography, I recorded several video clips of the sparrows bringing hay to line the box, the feeding of the noisy chicks and even the gentle prodding of the babies by the parents to make their first flight. subsequently, after some days another couple started building a nest in the box but soon abandoned it. In fact they would peep inside the box and ten chirp agitatedly and fly away. I wondered what could be the reason. Then one evening I saw a squirrel sitting on the box. Soon it entered the box only to emerge the next morning to sun itself and then run away. Another evening I also witnessed a fight between 2 squirrels to occupy the box for the night. So the sparrows box had been taken over by homeless squirrels. A lot of birds and other arboreals like the squirrels were displaced when the trees in the Voltas compound behind my complex were cut down to make way for highrises.I am happy that I managed give shelter to some of these hapless creatures. Even now sparrows visit my garden occasionally as is evident from the chewed up hibiscus buds. I hardly get to see any hibiscus blooms in my garden but then its ok because its for a noble cause- to save the brave little sparrow from extinction.There was also a tree outside the gate which used to be a roosting place for hundreds of sparrows in the evening . I heard a lot of chirping one day and happened to look up. I dont know whether the tree still exists.
