Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period?I am staying in this place for last 10 years. Since couple of years we have been putting rice in our balcony every morning. Around 5-6 years back we used to see around 4-6 sparrows every morning in the balcony. However these days the number has reduced to 2-4. We mostly see the sparrows in the mornings and evenings.
