Abstract
Sharp decline of house sparrow population has been observed over the globein recent years. In Odisha this trend has accelerated after super cyclone and Philin. In rural areas the natural habitat of house sparrow are rapidly replaced by concrete houses due to implementation of concrete housing schemes by the Government. Pertaining to this ongoing phenomenon, the present study evaluates the response of house sparrow towards the scientifically designed artificial nest boxes. This short term study has got high and positive response by the house sparrows towards the artificial nest boxes with respect to nesting and roosting behavior. This quick and significant response indicatesthat sparrows are in a need of nesting site. The individual and community efforts towards the installation of artificial nest boxes in the newly made concrete houses may be a pioneer method in conservative point of view.
