Abstract

Globally 12.43% birds’ species are approaching to extinction. India has seen a severe decrease of numerous bird species like Great Indian Bustard, Sarus Crane, Sparrows and Vulture. A drastic decline in the population of House Sparrow has been recorded worldwide over the last decade. House sparrows (Passer domesticus) is a gregarious, colonist, relatively sedentary, rarely moving from their colony site, and substantially (in adulthood) bird. It is omnivorous and feeds on cereals, flower nectar, fruit buds, fruits, grains, insect, insect’s larvae, and kitchen scrap. Possible reasons for declining are Cell Phone Tower radiation, cleaner streets, climate change, competition for food, disease transmission, electromagnetic radiation, Environmental pollution, food toxicity, oxidative damage, increased predation, pesticides used in parks and gardens, loss of nesting sites, modern infrastructures, pollution, and urbanizations. Acceptance rate of artificial nest boxes is more than 90% was seen. Providing artificial nest habitats is an effective way to conserve house sparrows.
