Question

I have never seen a sparrow in Chennai, although I would daily feed bird. Why is it so?

Community Answer

Sparrows don't come to hanging bird feeders. Try throwing some birdseed on the ground to see if they come.

Question

Yes, I am scattering birdseed over the ground, still I don't see the sparrows. Why?

Community Answer

One of the biggest things in attracting birds is having shelter. Make sure there are plenty of bushes and trees in the area you are spreading the seed. Try using a birdbath too.

Question

in what direction should sparrow house face?

FutureHow

Community Answer

Bird nests should face away from the usual direction of the wind. This is to prevent rain from blowing into the nest. If the nestbox is by a road, make sure the opening is pointed away from the road to prevent the sparrows from getting hit by a car when they leave the nest.
