WE CAN SAVE SPARROWS ( Short Article)


My dear children, have you seen the little beautiful brown-grey bird named 'SPARROW'.It is very sad that sparrows are dying because of environmental changes,lack of food,cutting down of trees and increased use of pesticides and fertilizers.
We can save this amazing native bird by following these easy steps- 



 1)We can provide sparrows homes by simply hanging a shoe box on our terrace or in our balcony.You can drill a hole in it about 4 centimeter in diameter so that sparrows can make their nest in the box.



 2)In summer plenty of sparrows die because of lack of water.We can put some water in a bowl and should fill it with fresh water every day.
3)Birds also need water for bathing so you can keep some water for that purpose also.

      
  4)Keep some broken rice in an open space for birds to feed.
      Kindly don't feed sparrow stale food.

We can save many sparrows if we follow these small, easy steps. We can prevent our little native bird from vanishing by doing this noble cause.
Sparrows have the habit to return to the same place each time they feel the need for food,water and shelter. They will come back to fulfill their needs, they will come back to the place where someone cares for them.
                                     Happy Sparrow day 

                                                        -Aunt Mary

    1. Dear Petty,
      It is very good that you have the sparrows in your area but in many Asian countries their number is declining. They are found in a large region of Asia. They have been listed on the Red list by IUCN. That is why the World Sparrow day is celebrated to remind us of our close connection to the one bird that has, over centuries, successfully adapted itself to human life.

  4. It is a sad thing to hear that in some Asian countries they are declining.

    In South America they, and pigeons are almost a plague :)))

    Sparrows and pigeons spread all over the countries and are a cute sight!

    Maybe they will be saved by this side of the world!

    It is a normal sight, a senior citizen sitting on a bench in a green surrounded by a flock of sparrows being fed. They are very intelligent and know nobody is going to hurt them, so they are very daring and come over to eat from the hands.
