| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I was informed by older residents of the Campus that the House Sparrow used to be a common bird seen in the school campus, often entering residences and nesting there. Even now, one can see birds just outside the school campus in the nearby villages where the birds are reasonably common and found breeding. In the past few years, the school buildings have been provided with mesh doors and windows to keep out mosquitoes and creepy crawlies and this also seems to have prevented sparrows from coming in. In my 14 years' stay at Rishi Valley, I have seen a sparrow just once in the school campus! |
