After reading about the decline of House Sparrows we realized that the birds had infact vanished. So we started feeding the birds over the weekends. I have ten small flower pots placed on the wall of the balcony. These are hidden by some tall plants. We place rice and bajra in all the pots. At first there were no sign of life . After a month a bulbul made a nest and had little chicks. Other bulbuls came to visit them . Infact the birds were quite daring- sitting around in the nest while we had tea. That's when the sparrows started coming in too. Now I see about five everyday. They love hopping along from one pot to another. They fly back to a beautiful climber in the house opposite ours.
