Chip-Chip - The Sparrow!!
Hurrray!!!! After a long wait for a month & half,chip-chip have started visiting my
place.Being inspired by Dilawar(The sparrow man,founder of Nature Forever Society),we have bought a nest box & feeder.I had installed it almost 2 months ago.But no sparrows appeared until 2days back(My husband's bday).Both of were so happy to see them perched on the nest box.It was a good gift 4 my hubby.I was ecstatic to see my kids running enthusiastically to see the birds as soon as they wake up in the morning from the next day.
Their chirpy calls announce my day break.My day starts with watching these small cuties.A male & a female have started building their nest. The male has a gray crown, whitish check, and black throat. The bill and breast are black in summer and in winter the bill is yellow and the breast is gray.The female has a brown crown and a plain breast with a broad buff line over the eye.
I think they have laid a few eggs as well. Everyday these birds keep collecting straws, feathers,twigs and put them inside the nest box. I was very curious to look inside and peeped through to find small oval shaped eggs lying in a soft bed of feathers.Was amazed at the structural beauty of the nest.No doubt they are better architects.
