Ram nagar crossing Roorkee Uttarakhand
The time period that I'm talking about is when i was a kid and use to go to school. There used to be an adequate number of sparrows around at time. I could see them early in the morning, chirping around here and there! But, its been years now, since I've seen sparrows in this area. Now.. Not even a single sparrow can be seen here. Its really sad that they aren't here anymore. But, I wish if I could bring them back to this place.

Hinauta village, Panna Tiger Reserve Panna Madhya Pradesh
This rural area is close to the only functional diamond mine in India. Though there are several agricultural fields, open spaces and tropical dry forest, and single storey buildings.

Techno Residency Apartment, Opposite Mindspace Hyderabad Andhra Pradesh
This Apartment was built in 2005 in the out skirts of Hyderabad. I frequently visit this place and I find House Sparrows here every time I visit. They are usually seen on the sun shades of windows, feeding on the open area around the apartment or in the partking area pecking at the rear view mirrors of parked vehicles. As of Feb 2012 wildlife such as Grey Francolin and Indian Mongoose are sees frequently around this apartment.

DLF Colony, Ghaziabad Ghaziabad Uttar Pradesh
Visited a friend's parents' home in Ghaziabad that has a lot of garden space, compost pit and several plants within the house. Additionally, the birds are fed by the occupants regularly. The house also has a large garage and old style walls with holes in it that perhaps make space for sparrows to nest.

Milk Colony,Belgachia Kolkata West Bengal
I can hear them chirping as i write this. The locality clearly has a very large and healthy population of house sparrows that has remained stable over the past few years. However,the number of trees has gone down considerably,because the previously present green spaces have been taken over for building houses.The new housing complexes have no gardens/open spaces around them and very few sparrows are observed in such areas;the vast majority are seen in gardens/the few remaining green spaces. My house has a small attached garden where sparrows are frequently seen.
