Home Sweet Home!!!

Finally it came ... the "Sparrow's shelter" as it is called ... 2 of them ... just have a look!!

I thought that going by the word "shelter" it would be something delicate but didnt think that it would be such a robust and palacial home ... almost like a mansion ;)

I mean look at it .... It has a waterproof roof ... cool design ...has some ventilation it also has an extension ... for the sparrows to just hang out! ... how kewl is that :)

We can either hang it outside our window , tied to the grill or we can put a nail in the outside wall and hang it there!

These sparrow shelters are sold as a part of a environment friendly gesture ... sparrows dont get a proper place to stay in this concrete jungle ... in old days, they could find a place in small gaps here and there ... but now they dont find such places ...

In fact, as per the person who sold this to us (he does this to give something back to nature),told us that sparrows being the fragile species as they are, are vulnerable even to the mobile waves from the cellphone towers! In fact in cities like Mumbai ... their population is on a decline!

So i felt really nice that we are doing something like this, we already have sparrows chirping around in the gallery ... in fact we could find them building a nice nest ... in a small hole in the outside wall , something like a shanty!

I hope we really help the cause with such shelters!

Now all we need is a sparrow couple to come and get a good look of their new "home". I am sure they are going to love it and bless us with their chirping ... something to sit back and enjoy in this chaotic world!!

If you are in Mumbai and would like to help the cause by having such shelter ... please do! The contact number is given in the image!

We also have bought a feeder which we can fill with grains! The design is so innovative that only sparrows can eat the grains from it ... we have thought a name also for the same "चिऊ-दा-ढाबा" !! :)
