Bhasmang Mehta - Chuda river Chuda Gujarat

An avid birder from this Chuda village- Shri. Chetan Vaidhya informed me about his sightings of House Sparrows in the region. According to him the numbers of House Sparrows in the village has increased in the past few years, and now numbers are getting back to normal.

On our way to Radhanpur in February 2012, we stopped by at this restaurant for a cup of tea, it was a small restaurant with an asbestos roofs, inside the restaurant I observed about 3-4 nest of House Sparrows and lot of activity of sparrows in that restaurant.

Bhasmang Mehta - Residential colony, Vastrapur Vastrapur Ahmedabad Gujarat

Myself & my wife Zankhana are proud and fortunate to be a part and a major contributor to an event that started here in Ahmedabad on the World House Sparrow Day called "Mirchi-Mirror Save The Sparrow Campaign"( In association with Radio Mirchi and Ahmedabad Mirror). Around 4000 clay nests were distributed for free to the citizens of the city along with bird food and a leaflet which guides them on how to use these nests better... Besides this we have 5 nest boxes fixed in our bungalow's garden ( 2 nest boxes made out of shoe box by Zankhana). We provide regular supply of fresh water and bird food in our garden. We have a regular nesting of Indian Robins in 2 of the nest boxes, but still no sparrows nesting in... This year we saw a sparrow couple collecting nesting material about a month back but haven't been able to locate their nest yet. Last year we had seen couple feeding babies with bird food in our garden. I have a doubt that they have their nest somewhere in the bougainvillea that is there in the garden. This year after the commencement of Mirchi Mirror campaign, we have put up 6 clay nests in the garden 2 weeks back, so I am sure Sparrows would start using them soon...
