Chennai: There is a remarkable story of conservation at Bengaluru’s new airport. Hundreds of sparrows twitter as they hop around the passenger terminal, pecking away at the little offerings below dining tables at several cafes.
The story goes that the sparrows were there in Devanahalli when the construction of the airport began 10 years ago and they were ‘imprisoned’ in the terminal building when it came up.
Now, they have no way of escape into the open air but they seem absolutely at ease in their protected environment.
This pleasant consequence of modernization is not seen as a nuisance. Passengers are thrilled as the little winged creatures share the habitat in which they are only in as short
a transit as possible. It is learnt that the sparrows are breeding quickly as they live away from a harmful environment of microwave tower radiation and unchecked traffic pollution.
