Sparrows are indicators of environmental health and changes in the urban ecosystem.

My Sparrows

Sparrow, one of the earliest birds you can remember from your childhood. The association between humans and the sparrow dates to several centuries.

House sparrows are everywhere humans are. Despite being wild birds, house sparrows occur almost everywhere where people live, and are almost never found where people are absent.

For centuries, house sparrows have peacefully coexisted with us in our homes and gardens, but in the last two decades, their population is on the decline in almost every country.

The reasons attributed are: rapidly changing cities are no longer a suitable habitat for the house sparrow, as the new and modern designs of infrastructure does not give any room for the sparrow to nest; pollution caused by matchbox styled residential and commercial towers, cell phone towers and WiFi zones in our communities have huge impact on survival of sparrows, the house sparrows are losing its natural grasslands as the green spaces in our cities and towns are given way to more concrete constructions.

With rising temperatures and a hot summer looming large, lack of water is the one thing due to which sparrows suffer a lot during summer. Keeping the food and water in open spaces will help them to survive and stay connected with you.

Help the sparrows to return by arranging food grains and water for sparrows in your balcony, roof top and in parks.

Let’s encourage people for conservation of sparrows.

Let’s bring back the Chirps that welcomed us every morning.

I totaly agree with you @VijayBhasker ,the changes in the environtent,destruction and reconstruction of old building comes to the destruction of their habitat.

Less ans less we noticed them on the streets of our cities and towns.,only in the countryside they can live ,where are a lot of old buildings.

This little birds always cheered us with their chirping in the morning.

Now their place is occupiedby pigeo s ,crows,jackdaws.

Cutting down trees in the urban area also affect the habitat of birds!

Thank you do much ,that you write about this important question @VijayBhasker 

Best wishes from Russia.

@VijayBhasker 

Great post to highlight the plight of the humble sparrow. These little creatures are our friends, not enemies, and need all the help we can give them.

It is worth pointing out also that sparrows, often regarded as being dull in appearance, are deceptively beautiful.

Regards

@Carmelina62Good to see your support, this will help me to multiply my efforts and move forward.

@KousalyaThanks, true the modern lifestyle changes people adopting are one major impact in reduction of sparrows. Beyond urbanization and reduction of green cover.
