Sparrows and Us

It is simple actually to integrate your life with those of wild birds..

Apart from the simple measures listed in the previous post (feed, water, etc.), have plenty of seating / work spaces in open alcoves around your house (balconies, aangans, lawn area, roof, terrace, etc.) so that you may spend part of your day in the company of birds.

When inside the house, ensure your windows look out at green areas (just plonking a couple of potted trees outside the window will do if you dont have a lawn) so when working or resting, you can glance up and notice the birds flitting around.

View from our Study window.








It is sad to find so many people lamenting about the disappearance of birds without taking the simple measures they could to help them. Worse, some people dont seem to feel their absence at all !

As Rob Dunn writes in the Smithsonian (Mar 2, 2012) : ‘Even if you don’t know it, you have probably been surrounded by house sparrows your entire life. Passer domesticus is one of the most common animals in the world. It is found throughout Northern Africa, Europe, the Americas and much of Asia and is almost certainly more abundant than humans. The birds follow us wherever we go.’
