The sparrow’s disappearance signals an environmental crisis. Learn simple steps to protect and bring back this beloved bird to our homes.

Sparrows are dying out, and it is a red flag for us all!

The simple sparrow, which moves about our houses with its cheerful hopping and chirping in the mornings, has been a symbol of peace in our daily lives. But with the last few decades gone by, the chirping of these little, cute sparrows is a rarity now.

Recently, in one of their social media releases, Acharya Balkrishna brought to the attention of the public the alarming vanishing of sparrows from our environment, and it’s something we can’t afford to overlook.

Sparrows have been drawn to human dwellings since the beginning of time, and they prefer to nest close to houses and urban neighborhoods as opposed to forests. They can be found in courts, balconies, and rooftops, where they build their nests and forage for food. They used to signal that an environment was healthy and thriving. Now, however, these small birds are disappearing at a rapidly alarming rate.
