I can see sparrows around my house because my area is still green. Lot of trees like mango, rain tree, jackfruit etc are there. I am staying in 2nd floor and hence I can see sparrow at my height from my gallery. there are many doves are there in my area and few Kotwals & Bulbul birds (I don't know exact english name) Once can easily idtentify that Sparrows count in my area going down. I was thought due to increasing count of doves, it is happening but then I understood that this is not a problem of my area only.
