Mysuru: Prakrutim Rakshamah, a city- based people’s movement celebrated World Sparrow Day at the premises of Royal Mart on Male Mahadeshwara Road (Mysuru-T. Narasipur Road) in city recently.
Birder Praveen, who spoke on the occasion, said that sparrows were our companions during childhood, with the open space in front of the house turning into their habitat. Now, with people opting for luxurious lifestyle, adapting to concrete structures, the sparrows have gone extinct by 70 percent with no place for roosting. Efforts should be made to bring them back to the courtyard of the house.
