House Sparrows

I am a bird lover.
I noticed the decline is sparrows in Ceylon.
I could not find a single book.
Went to Singapore Birds Park to investigate.
I could fing a sparse population of sparrows in Singapore,too.
I found a single book in the Singapore University Library.

Finally, I discovered that the insecticides used in agriculture get deposited in ovaries of these birds and make them infertile.

There are 5 types of chemicals in each grain of rice.

I react to one or many of these chemicals and now I won't eat even a grain of rice.

The entire world is polluted, the water, the soil and the air.

During coronavirus pandemic, I noticed our birds population especially parrots increased in number.

But sparrows have not regained its numbers.

When people do not have things to eat and practically starving (one meal out of three) even stray dogs population go down in numbers.

Sparrows cannot survive in the wild and depend on human for survival!

That is the bottom line.
