Where happiness comes in small packages—the ever-delightful house sparrow.
************************************************************************************
We often ignore our immediate periphery in our quest for finding excitement. Just think of the house sparrows! As a kid, out of sheer ignorance, I recall embarrassingly how I plundered their nests. But now, I compensate by feeding their chicks, watering them, and sheltering them in their cushy abodes.
In all this while, these humble birds never ever deserted their homes nor me...
Mr Rakesh Khatri has actively promoted sparrow conservation. Since 2007, he has been building nests for sparrows using natural material like bamboo, jute and coir. He trains young people to build these nests so that they could put them up around the city.
In an urbanized world, we have cut down trees and taken over the natural habitat of the birds.
