When was the last time u saw Sparrows?



Have you ever seen a sparrow on your window in last 2-3 years. If you memorize before more than 10 years then you definitely recall them on your house windows, nearby trees. You also remind their nests. There was a time when they make their nest at your windows and watching them with their offspring’s giving lot of fun, I especially don’t miss the time when theirs parents feed them, it gives a lot of pleasure to see them eating. :-)



Sparrows in trouble due to mobile towers: Changing climate, global warming, growing concrete jungles, depleting greenery and most of all mobile towers dotting the skyline of urban and rural areas are seen as plausible causes for decline of sparrows across the country.

Naturalists, conservationists, nature lovers and bird experts were concerned at the declining number of the friendly species of birds, said noted ornithologist Amarjit Gupta.

Gupta pointed out that the greatest danger to the environment was posed by the mobile towers erected atop stating a study has shown that the presence of this bird was only noticed in those areas located at a safe distance from the towers, he said, a little greenery also provided living and surviving space for sparrows.

According to bird watcher Raminder Singh, it is good news that there has been a campaign in the national capital to give the sparrow the status of a ‘state bird’ and the Delhi Government has accepted it.

"The sparrow has got recognition. The bird which has been seen disappearing from residential homes will now get a new lease of life. This will definitely give a boost to its preservation in the country", Singh said.

Until a year ago, the sparrow was listed under the 'Least Concern' category by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). Now, with the efforts of scientists and considering the decreasing number of sparrows, the IUCN has declared it Endangered and placed it in the Red Data List of endangered species

Whose fault is this? Is it government who least care about those shit or its cost of technology or telecom firms. No it’s ours fault, ours peoples attitude fault towards others, who always thinking about making our life easy and least care about others (this is called externalities). We are destroying food life cycle made by nature, we have to stop this immediately until it’s too late …………………………who knows what next.
