The "Chidiya Ghar" is not just a small wooden structure — it is a heartfelt and responsible effort to bring the sparrow back into our lives. It is a mission that reconnects us with nature. Under this initiative, everyone is encouraged to install birdhouses in their homes — be it one or as many as they wish — so that sweet little birds like sparrows can once again live among us, sing their cheerful songs, and raise their families nearby.
As we build tall buildings and concrete homes in our cities, we unknowingly destroy the natural habitats of many small creatures—especially birds. The sparrow, once a common and beloved presence in every courtyard, is now rarely seen. By installing a birdhouse, we can help make up for this loss. It’s a small yet meaningful responsibility—giving the sparrow a home once again, right in your own home.
A New Member in the Family: When a sparrow makes your birdhouse its home, it becomes a part of your family. Her sweet chirping will bring life and joy to your home. Natural Balance: Sparrows and other birds feed on insects, acting as natural pest controllers. This reduces the need for chemical pesticides in your home and garden. Contribution to Pollination: Wherever birds eat seeds and leave droppings, new plants can grow. In this way, by helping birds, you also support the regeneration of trees, plants, and even forests. Environmental Conservation: By installing just one birdhouse, you contribute to the entire ecosystem. Even a small effort can make a big difference. Connecting Children with Nature: Your children can witness the sparrow laying eggs, hatching chicks, and teaching them to fly—offering a rare and valuable lesson about the cycle of life in today’s digital age.
If you’ve ever purchased a plot or built a home, you know that the land once belonged to some living creature. By installing a birdhouse, we can give back the shelter that was taken away — and that is our moral responsibility. So today, place a birdhouse on your balcony, window, or a tree near your home, and welcome the return of the sparrow.
