The sparrows have nested right beside my balcony. I have set up a small bowl for watering. It's a joy to watch the birds come in and drink the water. I try keeping grains so they can eat. Yet to figure out WHEN they eat this.

Way back in 2010, there were just about 5-7 sparrows in my garden. Now in 2013 their number has increased to 13!

The hibiscus shrub next to my compound wall and an adjacent coconut tree in our neighbour's garden are their homes. They are also found on an empty space between the shutter door and the ceiling of our neighbour's grocery store.

My daughter has written about their antics in her blog here- http://myeverydayjoysoflife.blogspot.in/2012/12/sparrows-in-my-frontyard.html

Since we offer them water and grains, they are habitual visitors and in case the water or grains is not there, they chirp the house down :)

Thekkur(my birth place) is a village situated about 20 km away from city of Thanjavur, Thanjavur district. As we have large sized paddy fields, Sugarcane fields and coconut farms, flock of sparrows used to built their nest in coconut trees and sugarcane fields. The nests will swing to and fro like simple pendulum while breeze flows. It is very beautiful to watch and one my favorite time pass during my childhood. During Paddy harvest times the sparrows will be in very large number. Its pleasant to watch and hear flock of sparrows were flying and chirping over paddy fields, and used to feed our golden colored grain. But we kids along with family members used to protect our grains by making huge sounds by beating drums and plates esp after sunrise and before sunset. And we followed our tradition that to hang a pile of paddy and water pot in the front and back of our home to feed sparrows during summer and harvest times. Still the memories are crossing over my mind whenever i see a sparrow. It was a wonderful period in my childhood.
