1st street Gandhi Road Residential Area Thiruvallur Tamil Nadu
The area has under gone a tremendous change in past five years. There were many trees and old buildings, which were destroyed. The sparrows have neither nesting sight nor food for eating. Even though the area has a good diversity of birds like the Black Drongo, barbets, mynas and so on, but strangely enough the once populous Sparrows are missing. Its a very sad state of affairs, considering five years back they were the dominant birds.

residential house Adivaram Rd Kannankurichi Tamil Nadu
we have a well in my backyard and looks like house sparrows absolutely love to build their nests there. I can only speculate why, maybe because they are protected from predetors? the well has an iron grill and big birds cant get in. but on the other hand, we had a few chicks slip out of its nest and fall into the well and died :(

Air Port Terminal building Aero Express Bus Stop, Hyderabad Airport (HYD), Shamshabad Hyderabad Andhra Pradesh
I have an observation to make regarding Sparrows.
I noticed a lot of them in the terminal building of the airport(RGIA) yesterday.(02 May2012)
They are seen nesting in the metal girdles of the roof and also the false roofing of the waiting lounge.
It was actually a treat to see them over fly the stalls and the eateries.
There were many passengers who took notice of their over flights and hunt for food droppings and insects.
As per my estimation there could be over a 100 birds there.
In my opinion they have found a safe haven here in the comfort of air conditioned atmosphere, 24 hr food and undisturbed shelters high above.
I am afraid this will catch the attention of the airport authorities and soon this' Bird Menace' in the aviators' view may be eradicated once for all.
I request the experts to step in to conserve the last few birds.
We may need to get in touch with the airport authorities to pave an amicable solution. I am willing to be a part of the team.
Best wishes

I observed sparrows in the school garden, specially in the evenings when seeds were put out for birds.
