Save House Sparrow, Real love bird

Even sparrows don't want to live in urban cities anymore.....
चिड़ियों को दाना डालते हुए अक्सर दादी बोलती थीं
राम की चिड़ियाँ राम के खेत
खाओ मेरी चिड़ियों भर भर पेट
आज वो चिड़ियाँ कहाँ खो गई कभी सोचा,वो भोर भयो चिड़ियों का चहकना, वो पंखों का फडफडाना,वो पानी में नहाना, वो आज के परदूषण में लुप्त होती जा रही है, चिंता का विषय है! एक दशक से यह प्रजाति लगभग गायब हो गई है, आज ज़रुरत है इस प्यार के परिंदे को बचाने की, ध्यान देने की, उनके लिये अपने घर के बाहर दाना पानी रखने की, सुरक्षा के लिये लकड़ी के घोंसले बनाने की !

Ornithologists and wildlife experts speculate that the population crash could be linked to a variety of factors like lack of nesting sites in modern concrete buildings, disappearing kitchen gardens, lack of hedges, microwave pollution and urban habitat destruction, increased use of pesticides in farmlands and the non-availability of food sources.
There is a need to start sparrow habitat conservation drive by providing water and food regularly, by switching back to organic gardening, planting more hedges and putting up nesting boxes dedicated to house sparrows.
Till ten years ago the dominant species of birds in Delhi were house sparrow, house crow, rock pigeon and common starling (मैना). By 2008, however, all these have been sidelined by the rock pigeon. The sparrows and pigeons were in competition for nesting space and the smaller bird was obviously beaten. Rapid urbanisation has created obstacles in habitat of the birds, as a result of this tussle; children now hardly find any sparrow around their localities. House sparrow is one of the most common and loved birds in the world, de

cline of the house sparrow is not just restricted to India. "In London too, bird-watchers have noted it vanishing with concern. Buckingham Palace, reputed to be the richest wildlife area in central London, has seen its sparrow population dwindle to zero. The decline of sparrow has been a matter of much concern and debate across its natural ranges. It is an important bio-indicator. The decline in its number is a grim reminder of degradation of the urban environments and the danger from it to the human welfare in the longer run.
