House Sparrow or Passer domesticus is a bird of the sparrow, family Passeridae, is
one of commonest birds, though in recent times its population is declining in
many cities In India including Bhopal. If one notices change around one
neighborhood in last few years, you may have noticed them missing, or missing sometimes. Though sparrows are still a present in rural
Madhya Pradesh, which are is more agriculture dependent, however, its density
is declining in the urban areas of Bhopal,
Indore etc, when compared to the other commonly bird species which exists in
the urban areas.
But do people of Bhopal feel the change ? More than 100 people in age group of 18- 62
were asked few questions and around 85 %
feel that yes Sparrows are decreasing in numbers in the city which is rapidly
growing in building and losing its green cover.
Time for us to think and take some action to save sparrows. Bhopal still has number of these winged human
friends but the way construction is happening, mobile companies are building
their towers, and increase in pollution will impact lives of these housebirds.
