We Hindus follow lot of customs. One such is, coconut wrapped in red cloth and tied above the main door of the house. Now, what to do with this custom for World Sparrow day? The reason is, these coconuts were the room for house sparrows at my grandparents place. As kids we enjoyed life in the lap of nature. But with present lives in Metros we hardly come across too many birds, but sparrows though are very frequent visitors to my balcony next to pigeons.

Due to drastic decline of sparrows across Asia, Europe and Africa, 20th March every year is celebrated as World Sparrow Day since 2010, to create awareness among people.
