POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
March 20th is World Sparrow Day
The common house sparrow, used to be ominipresent in our school days. Now they are rare to find in urban environs. Currently in our house in a forest area, we find quite a few sparrows flitting about. The bulbul was busy building its nest over several weeks. Sparrow ousts the bulbul and takes over the already built nest!
busies-3rd person singular present tense of verb busy; keep oneself occupied

now we are happy to see two baby sparrows getting feed from their mom and embarking on small flights within the balcony! Matrimony successful!

This is so cute....! Strange enough the bulbul makes its nest very close to human habitats, mostly in the patio or veranda if there are potted plants! Last year a bulbul couple made a beautiful nest on an door plant kept on the outer balcony of our house. I watched its progress with so much of curiosity! When the eggs were laid, alas, they were eaten away by a stray cat! Here it is interesting that a sparrow could oust a Bulbul!
