| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | When we purchased this house in May 2012, there was already a nest in the balcony in an accessible electrical enclosure. While we made every possible attempt to preserve the nest and not do any activity around this enclosure, the nesting pair fled after about a few weeks, I presume due to the renovation work going on in the other parts of the house. We even provided water and some food for the pair which they indulged in, but not for too long. I spotted one sparrow again in the past week, and would like to make a nesting enclosure (box) for the birds. What can be done to attract the birds again? |
