For a long time I and my brother have been putting up boxes and containers near the cielings to facilitate nesting of sparrows. As a result we have been seeing house sparrows all the time. Apart from sparrows other birds like pegions, bulbuls etc also come for picking up the grains. We have been seeing sparrows making their nests in these boxes and occasionally also see their young fledgeling chicks coming out and trying to fly.

I have been living in this area since about 1-1/2 years now and i do occasionally see (observing them for more than 1 month now) a few house sparrows in my front yard. In fact, there is this one sparrow that comes three or four times a week only and perches itself on a cable wire below the front sunshade of my house, all night. Sometimes, i see two of them there. They are occasional visitors only. I wonder why they don't come everyday.
On rainy nights, the sparrow is almost sure to show up.
I'll try and get a photo (i am however worried that it might scare them away)
I have in fact hung a pot with a side opening and covered with straw near this cable wire but the sparrow doesn't seem to be interested in using that space, it still prefers the cable wire.
