Sparrows are a complex mixture of simplicity and complicated. There is something sad about them, but at the same time there something joyous about seeing them. They are simplest of birds, but they seek shelter in the company of the most complicated specimen, the humans. They are one species of birds which cannot survive without human beings. But too much of human activity has pushed them onto backfoot and are disappearing from the urban areas, clearly first indication of excess of pollution. More than anything else they need appropriate habitat to make their nests.
Below are a few photos exclusively of sparrows around our home in Gubbi. By the way Kannada word for sparrows is Gubbachchi or Gubbi more affectionately. Inviting your comments and suggestions so as what can we do so that these lovely and lively birds can live that much more happily around us.

Very nice! Are there different species of sparrows in what you shared? There is a smaller bird which makes nest in my window garden. It comes through bird net. Uses lemon grass to build its nest. I was not able to click photos, because the nest was opening outside from our seventh floor window. I do not know what is the name of the bird. It is very tiny, a lite longish, beautiful.
Beautiful pics Sir. Happy to see this bird. How can we help in creating a habitat for this species? In cities it is difficult, bit in villages we should be able to do that.
Such a beautiful clicks Sir, Very niceđź‘Ź. To make the birds to live happily around us, We need to plant and grow as much trees as possible around us and in these summer days, we should have a habit of keeping water for birds in balcony or roof patio.
