Answer 2

Complete sparrow's plea for survival is:

(a) Decrease in trees and water resources

(b) Loss of stopover sites

(c) Human beings

(d) Bird houses

(e) Water and grains

Explanation:

The image of the question is attached below.

• The migrating birds usually use stopover sites to rest, refuel and en route.
• Deforestation and pollution of water reduced the stopover sites.
• The birds that do not migrate also suffer a lot due to degradation of water with toxic chemicals.
• There is wide reduction in the population of birds.
• So, we all need to store some grains and water in the balconies and terrace for the birds.
