I haven’t seen a sparrow where I live for a good few years now; they used to be everywhere. I miss their gabbling in the evening when they gather to roost.
Ellen replied
Thanks very much! Here we dont see much sparrows anymore too.
There used to be a lot of them, but not anymore.
So, now i shoot them in the Zoo :)
