Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?Couldn't remember when we had seen a sparrow in last 4-5 years. But few days back, we saw a sparrow on our house window (in Mumbai Mulund area). We thought to feed it and hence, put some bird-food in a box along with some water in an earthen pot. Since, then two sparrows (one male and another female) are frequently coming to on the window. It feels so happy to see those cute birds after a long time.
