GooD AfternooN Alumni,
It Has Been Years Since The House Sparrows Appeared In Towns And Cities.
World Sparrow Day -WSD- Is On March 20. A Day Day Set Aside For The
Birds Provides A Platform For Us To Work Together To Find Ways and
Means To Protecting The Sparrows.
One Of The Reasons For Depleting Numbers Is The Change In Our
Lifestyles. Mobile Phone Towers, Lack Of Trees And Food Are Some Of
The Reasons.
In The Past, Houses, Had Many Nooks And Crannies And Sparrows Found It
Convient To Build Their Nest There.
The Heavy Use Of Pesticides, Chemicals And Fertilizers In Agriculture,
Killed The Worms And Insects That The Sparrow Chicks Fed On.
Devoid Of Nourishing Food, The Chicks Could Not Attain Maturity
Another Reason Is That Our Life Style Has Changed So Much That It Kept
The Sparrows From Living Closely With People.
