no doubt, a very large number that is above 100(approximately) were there in that period, but before that, I heard that even more sparrows were there.
Q4. What kind of general area are you reporting about?
-->at that time it was not labelled as a city, but was a town now it is city.
I don't remember about nest, but heard that there were nest also(. Obviously there would be some nest with such quantity of sparrows is there.

Mahatma Gandhi Road, Gangtok Gangtok Sikkim
There was a big colony of House Sparrows at Melli Bazar, South Sikkim in 1988 (strange because Salim Ali did not come across it in Sikkim during his surveys), while Eurasian Tree Sparrows were common higher up in Gangtok. I first saw House Sparrows in Gangtok in 1990. It was a pair on MG Road the heart of Gangtok above a photography shop called Panorama and commented to my husband Ganden that someone must have released them or they were escapes, as they were not supposed to occur here. Today one can see more of them living comfortably with the Tree Sparrows and I wonder if they are interbreeding as there was a big mixed flock in the STNM Hospital Complex, a stone's throw from MG Road. Some time back I observed House and Tree Sparrows at the VIP Colony gate, above Gangtok, at about 2000m. Sign of global warming? In the Forest Colony where I live, about a km from MG Rd, we also have Russet Sparrows. Ali Hussain had caught some in BNHS mist nets and we ringed them around 1996. That makes it three Sparrow species in Gangtok itself!

During my childhood days I used to watch many house sparrows chirping,hopping, flying and living around happily.But now a days I could hardly see house sparrows, I spent one year (2011) in Leuven, Belgium, there i could see many house sparrows. It is very sad to digest house sparrows are disappearing in our nativity.we need to know what are the reasons for this and how can we promote the livelihood of house sparrows.

Yes, i would like to share an interesting story about sparrows. Every morning at 6 am, I used to spread some rice grains in my front-yard garden and every morning quite a lot of sparrows used to come and devour on them. But, once or twice, I overslept and could not wake up at 6am, the sparrows came into my room and three to four of them were sitting on my bed and calling me. They know that it is me who give them food. One of them even came close to my ear and started chirping. That day, my father gave them the grains, but they did not eat. They only eat from my hands, only when they see me spreading the grains for them. I don't know whether they spy on me or not, but this is the truth.
