In childhood, whenever we cut nails, we were told to remember to pass small pieces of nails into drainage so that small sparrows do not eat them by mistakes.
We were told that if a sparrow eats small pieces of nail, assuming them to be rice flakes, it dies.
Now the world has changed. Mobile tower radiations is there. Then new flats are built in such a way that there are no places for sparrows to build nests.
In earlier time, people used to build bird-towers in middle of village. Food grains and water were regularly kept in bird-towers.
Now the people have changed. The birds have left urban houses. However some birds like doves are still seen.
But otherwise, there is "No Entry for Birds" in new houses.
