Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?Sparrows used to always be making nests and flying in the area. However with lack of water, increased noise and other sound disturbances, lack of nesting areas, sparrows have dis-appeared from the area. I saw surprisingly sparrows in the ICD Tughlakabad office after a gap of over 10 years. The area does have other bird life and interesting species are seen but sadly the humble sparrow is not to be seen. We should cultivate a habit of putting out a water basin in extreme summer so that the odd bird flying has some source of water and as well if possible grain to eat at a safe height. We need to be conscious of our nvironment and end of the day we share the space with others as well be it birds etc.
