House Sparrows are struggling to survive in our concerete jungle now. Their natural nesting sites are fast declining. Scarcity of food, excessive use of pesticides are main reasons of their declining in numbers. Please support us in our 'Save House Sparrow Project' to increase the numbers of our little flying wonders & giving them safe atmosphere & good opportunity for successful breeding.

Please install clay Water Pots, Bird Feeders & Nest Boxes at your home & also plant medium sized leafy flowring trees nearby your home or street or socities or open plots or garden. Please convert your home into 'Bird Station' to attract House Sparrows & other birds.

Bird Station Guidelines:

1) Please keep 4-5 clay water pots & also clean them at every 2-3 days.
2) Please keep 5-6 bird feeders & keep 2-3 feeders seperately for sparrows.
3) House Sparrow loves Rice & Pearl Millet (Bajra).
4) For big birds like Pigeons keep Rice, Pearl Millet, Millet (Jowar/Jar) & Wheat seperately.
5) Please be regular in filling bird feeders & water pots daily.

House Sparrow Nest Box:

Installation of Nest Boxes is critical now. In our modern architecture, House Sparrows don't find proper nesting space!! So it's now our responsibility to give them proper nesting opportunity & breeding atmosphere.

Nest Box Installation Guidelines:

1) Select safe place. Keep Nestbox under the Balcony or minimum 6" below the ceiling.
2) Install 2+ Nestboxes with minimum distance of 5 feet between two boxes.
3) Fix the Nestbox perfectly so it won't drop off. Use Plastic String / Washer to fix it well.
4) Make sure Nestbox is not swinging or loose.
5) Don't install Nestbox on Tree. House Sparrow don't make nest on Trees.
6) Don't install Nestbox on Terrace or Open Area. Cats & Birds of Prey may kill them.
7) Don't select wet place or where cats/squirrels can easily reach to the nestbox.
8) Keep Nesting Materials aside. Broom Grass, Jute Strings, Wool Strings, Cotton etc.
9) Keep seperate water pots & bird feeders nearby the Nestbox for House Sparrows.
10) Create Safe & Peaceful environment neaby the Nestbox.
11) Please be sincere & keep records of House Sparrow nesting in your nestboxes.
