G.Swapna - Less than 100 metres across (eg, a few houses or shops) Rasipuram Tamil Nadu

I see sparrows daily. In our house, above the Meter box which is kept outside, near the car parking area, it has built a nest. My wife is very much interested and she kept some hay and some cotton to make it soft but these sparrows, they don't like other to build their nests and it took away everything and it has built a new one and it is there only. I see them everyday but a few only. Sparrow population has declined and it is not as much as I had seen in my earlier days. I wish they should come again in large numbers as we had in our earlier days.


narentheran gunasekar - Back Garden of Apartment and Nearby Open Ground Lic colony Jeevan Beema Nagar Tamil Nadu

There were lots of open spaces in the then LIC colony behind Chennai Public School at collector Nagar. Everyday behind my house there was a small garden of 10*20mts. there used to be a Drumstick tree and i have seen several pairs of sparrows there evry day. Now all the gardens and free spaces are gone turned into car parks and new apartments. Do not know if they still exist.


narentheran gunasekar - Bus Stand Inter state bus terminus, Kullu Kullu Himachal Pradesh

The interstate bus terminus at Kullu, is a very bustling place with a small garbage dump nearby and several shops also nearby, i was there during Feb - March of 2011. above the ticket reservation office, a small slab was present where there were active nests of both Sparrows and Swallows. though i did have a question on their coexistence they were living close by each other. saw lots of birds around 6-7 pairs


daya patel - kuruchikkupam Puducherry

i feed them nearly everyday ,4 to 5 come at morning hours between 7.30 am n 8.00 am.

surely they have become less in numbers over the years.


J D Vidyapathi - Koodal Nagar Housing Board colony Koodal Nagar Madurai Tamil Nadu

I have started spotting squirrels during this period. We had just shifted from Ennore to Madurai after my retirement. I also observed that the sparrow population has started dwindling during this period. From 2002, unfortunately, I could not sight any sparrows in our locality, while the squirrel population was on the rise. This is the case till now (2012).
