FREE distribution of sparrow-nests
House sparrows have been part of everyone's life, especially childhood memories, when you see them nesting behind that photo-frame of your grand(or grand-grand)father. You see them laying eggs and you see the babies coming out, learning to fly.
Sadly, all these seem like a distant past. Neo-urban India doesn't witness many sparrow-visitors in their houses. Is that house-designs that have changed? Is that influence of mobile towers? We don't know. But all we know is if wish to, we can welcome them by giving a space to nurture their babies in safety. Safe from Cats and Kites. Safe from extremes of weather.
