World Sparrow Day 2023: Our little brown-grey birdie needs help! (Firstpost)

Whether it is initiatives on a large scale like the special sparrow village or just putting out water and food for the birds, there is much that can be done ...

Gharial conservation efforts in Odisha formally began in 1975 with the intervention of FAO and UNDP in collaboration with the state forest department. Follow us on [also read] [India](https://www.firstpost.com/category/india) [The spotting of a female gharial's nest in Odisha underlines the state's efforts to revive the critically endangered species](https://www.firstpost.com/india/the-spotting-of-a-female-gharials-nest-in-odisha-underlines-the-states-efforts-to-revive-the-critically-endangered-species-9742331.html) The efforts need to be sustained and multiplied. Dedicated to a sparrow that died in March of 1974 in police firing. Then, there are concepts of Sparrow Moms and Bird Adopters where persons undertake to protect and feed birds and promote their breeding. Sparrows act as insect controllers as they feed on large numbers of insects as well as tiny creatures (caterpillars, beetles and others) and feed their young on an insect or worm diet. The grains they eat and scatter as they fly around help in maintaining nature’s biodiversity. There is no reliable figure for the total bird population in India as we have some resident birds and also winter, summer and passage migrants. The brown-grey bird is tiny in size and weight, the average bird barely weighs 30 to 40 gm. In the backyard, in the neighbours’ homes, where we went to visit, in and around the paddy fields and on trees lining the small lanes and bylanes that crisscrossed our ancestral village. My grandmother would feed them, as she would the countless other little birds that flitted around inside and outside the home and even made nests in crevices and niches in the roofs. Today, forget congregations, even a lone sparrow or two would be difficult to come by in the crowded urban-housing clusters where most of us live today.

The house sparrow is listed as 'least concern' on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List.

The first World Sparrow Day was observed on March 20, 2010. World Sparrow Day provides an opportunity for individuals and communities to work together to protect and conserve sparrows. They lived in colonies and fed on food grains and tiny worms in nearly every residence in the neighbourhood, as well as in bus stops and railway stations. The tiny house sparrow (measuring 10 to 15 cm in length) is perhaps one of the first birds you recall from childhood. The day is dedicated to raising awareness about the threats faced by the sparrow and other common urban birds. New Delhi: World Sparrow Day is observed on March 20 every year.

World Sparrow Day: Visibility of house sparrows a tale of resilience ... (CitySpidey.com)

This shows that they are surviving and they want to fight for survival in this urbanisation era.

According to data there are 26 species of sparrows found in the world whereas in India there are five species. These are some important things to think as this affect the breeding of the birds and so the number is observed declining in urban areas. In coastal areas of India the population has dropped to 70 to 80%. Sparrow never lost their breeding potential and this type of adoption of nesting sites and breeding shows that they have great breeding potential if the environment is favourable for them even in urban areas. An eminent wildlife photographer who has written on sparrows says, " We are lacking in studies on sparrows in India which is must to do. According to birdwatchers and the Ornithologists in those places where once the house sparrows were in good number like in JNU area, in Aravali and in those areas where there are wilderness and openness with a bit habitat of human being, the number got decreased sharply. There are grasses like Paricuma and Seteria in the vacant lands around those area where they are nesting as these grasses help them making their nests. According to him the number of sparrows has increased in last five years in the area. They are all around nesting breeding and surviving in my society and also in my area in the National Capital. So according to visibility we can say that the number has increased in our area." Also the metro stations are being seen with the sparrows chirping and sitting in premises across Delhi NCR. In urban areas of Delhi they are less visible because their habitats are destroyed in blind urbanisation and planning.
