If there is one bird you can remember from your childhood, it would probably be the House Sparrow. Since it lives in close proximity with humans, the House Sparrow is, for most of us, the first bird we learn to identify. Many bird watchers and ornithologists recall with fondness how the House Sparrow gave flight to their passion for observing birds.
The House Sparrow is believed to be declining for various reasons ranging from the destruction of its habitat to lack of insect food for the young and even the increasing microwave pollution from mobile phone towers.
World House Sparrow Day (WHSD), to be celebrated on 20 March 2010.
Starting from march 20th this year YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
No one is too small or too insignificant in the web of life. Just as the little House Sparrow is a big indicator of the health of our environment, each of us can help the House Sparrow. We need to come forward to help the bird by creating awareness about the problem. We also need to start House Sparrow habitat conservation drives by providing water and food regularly, by switching back to organic gardening, planting more hedges and putting up nesting boxes dedicated to House Sparrows.
