| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I see House sparrow in the place where I lived from 2004 to 2008 (normally around 5-10 of them). The time period I am reporting here is from 2000-2004, however I moved here only in 2004 and I saw sparrow nest inside a thick Jasmine creeper right in front of my house. In 2005 or 2006 this Jasmine creeper was cut down for some reason. So I kept a nest box in my front room of my house. It was occupied immediately (within a month or so I think) and they started breeding and I very often see 2-3 young ones peeping out from the nest box entrance with wide open (Yellow color gape flanges ) and asking for food from their parents. More on this in my next observation..:) |
