Where Has The Sparrow Gone?
Where are they? Our gentle little neighbour. With sunrise they wake us up with a familiar rhythm Chiv Chiv, Perched on ledges and lofts, they hop right inside our houses and in the balconies the whole day, full of life. Taking occasional tiny bites from our leftover supper or picking worms & insect from backyard. Nesting on low branches, in our homes and in sheds, they put a smile on our faces us no matter what.
Sparrows have been an integral part of our growing up journey, the songs and stories narrated by our grandparents making us nostalgic. Knowingly or unknowingly, they’ve been our family member who greets us every day, our family who share our home and food, our friends who never leave us alone. Their cute and chirpy presence, once regularity is now a rarity. Once aplenty, now it hard to find even one in today’s urban environment. All this happened since last 10 years.
Sparrows were mostly seen around human habitats. With agricultural land moving away from the city or occupied by urbanisation, finding food in the concrete jungle is not easy for them. Also evidence suggests that heavy vehicular pollution and cell phone tower radiation have impacted their existence. But, the fact that these birds are still seen in the outskirts where there is less pollution and radiation, gives us hope.
