I have a habbit of feeding the birds and one day i watched few sparrows comes to my place to eat the food. since then, i started putting more qty of food and i see the no. of sparrows are increasing. every day, i see around 10-15 sparrows coming to my house and eat the food which i throw in front of my house.

The sparrows had disappeared. Suddenly I have started noticing them again, twittering on the gulmohar tree outside my window
I also spot parrots, crows and pigeons(offcourse) the koel, both black and spotted, coppersmith barbet, magpie robbin, bulbuls, fantails, pond herons, and another bird white with a golden head...a treat

its of the time we shifted to our new home..in newest development area sector-15. At the back of our home was a temple area in outskirt of the sector surrounded by a large patch of eucalyptus trees. every day,every evening we could hear roosting of these birds..so much loud... birds roosted and fly back to eucalyptus trees. it use to happen for at least 15 to 20 mins i think. we were so use to that roosting sound and literally it indicated sign of evening arriving to me as a child. No trees now because of urbanization and sector extension..infact houses stand on once a huge patch of euacalyptus trees... and temple too is surrounded by houses only.No trees...no more birds now...no more roosting sounds.. miss that old music...of birds roost... and that humble sign of dusk arriving...

this was when i was in my class 8th/9th (Year 1997)... my school was at 1 km distance from my home and we use to walk to our school. i clearly remember those winter mornings, little fog and sunshine yawing out and amongst this beautiful morning everyday we use to see lots and lots and uncountable sparrows on electricity wires in line..sitting,chirping...it was such a pleasant and beautiful moment to see them everyday on our way to school. Now when i use to visit my home there are no more birds...on these wires...just one here or two there. dont know where there friends are...they left them for good or succumbed to human urbanization
