During these years, sparrows were frequent visitors and pigeons came occassionally on my window. There was a gap above the glass panes where the sparrows used to build nest.
As years passed by, pigeons became a menace so we had to cover our window with a mesh. Unfortunately, we unwillingly shut our window to our sparrow friends.
