When I was staying in a Apartment in Mumbai, I could never find a
Sparrow, With high density of population and few number of trees and
lot of noise one cannot expect a sparrow. Only bird which can be found
in and around Mumbai was Pigeon! Thanks to temples and few more people
who feed them and encourage these pigeons to grow !
When I visited my native just few months back, in the lemon tree of my
house, I found a bunch of sparrows ticking and quacking the leaves.
sometimes these sparrows come inside our house and make a sound.
Today I am working down at south, which is not crowded as Mumbai, but
has few trees more then mumbai, still I notice not a single sparrow.
However happy that some pegions have made their way towards my
apartments and spend their time sitting on the window shade.
Thoughts !
Today the world celebrates, World Sparrow day ! What a complexional. we
have made so much concrete jungle, that these birds have become very
few. Once very village and town had sparrow and each house as the
sunlight falls on the door, these birds were found.
Its ironic that these are becoming rare species. Time only can predict,
in future will our Children will be able to identify sparrow or these
will be in Museum or zoo, captured inside the cage and struggling to
get freedom.
