An estimation is done in between 2010 september to 2011 july and recorded 20- 25 sparrows visiting our flat which is located in middest of all flats. The corner flats used to get more than us. We provided some nesting but used to fail due to natural winds because it is in last floor, so we made holes into the wall which is more suitable for the sparrows to nest that can be safer and can resist natural winds and rains and very much suitable for hatching of eggs. |
