Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?We always keep some food in the window for the birds , and due to this habit , couple of sparrows started enjoying the food along with few other birds. Since I Live in 6 th floor, it was quiet easy to spot the birds that are sitting on the trees. Still i haven't seen any nest of Sparrow yet. The reason for the Birds may be the National Park near to the house. Though i had seen the Sparrows , they aren't seemed that healthy (not sure as the one i saw in Nashik are looked more healthier than these fellas). I do take couple of photos .
