Sparrows are occasionally seen on the trees adjoining the vast Oval Maidan.


Atul Sathe - BNHS premises, Fort, Mumbai K Dubash Marg, Kala Ghoda, Fort Mumbai Maharashtra

I work here and our watchman feeds bajra/jowar grains occassionally to the sparrows in the premises. So everyday while entering the building and leaving, I see a flock of sparrows feeding on these grains and sitting on the gate, the compound wall and the trees/shrubs around.


Atul Sathe - Mahalaxmi Railway Station Lower Parel Mumbai Maharashtra

I see sparrows on an unused platform on Mahalaxmi railway station several times during the week, while sitting in the train, as I travel daily on this route. The sparrows fly down to the unused platform and seem to be bathing in the fine debris and sand/cement present there.


Atul Sathe - Yogi Jayraj Nagar, Borivali West, Mumbai Yogi Jayraj Nagar, Borivali West Mumbai Maharashtra

Well, I have been reading and observing over the past few years that sparrows are gradually declining in number. But in the past one year, I have observed them again in decent numbers in our locality. They seem to be recovering in our area. I see them on the paved ground below and on the ground covered with soil mixed with cement and fine debris. They seem to be bathing in these soil/cement patches.

I also see sparrows nowdays on the "Gokarn" climber in our balcony and also on the trees and shrubs around our building and in the premises of surrounding buildings.

I also here their chirping occassionaly during the day and especially prominent in the early mornings.

About a year ago I saw a crow carrying away a juvenile sparrow in its beak.
