| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Namskar,
During January 2012 I read some article regarding decline in Sparrows. It was a thing to concern. Don't the reason but I did observation & checked the reality of article. It's been true to many extent everywhere I can spot Pigeons & Crows. It was same till March 2012 & then suddenly I started spotting Sparrows in small numbers like 2-3, it kept increasing & now it's on daily basis. I can spot at least 15 sparrows especially during afternoon between 12-4 they just enjoy here in the premises. Some braves even come near our window with cute chirping. It feels really great & it must result of awareness or may be someone has built(or sparrows themselves) nests.
The initiative by BNHS is no doubt a very good & should upheld & applauded by all people.
I will be pleased if I can install Bird Feeder or put nest near window for the sparrows & wish you guys will encourage & guide me for the same.
I will keep updating details |
