Farmers' Preparedness Before Harvest

This past week, farmers were again worried about the arrival of flocks of sparrows attacking their rice crops. This phenomenon has become a habit every year, especially before the harvest season, because young rice grains are the most delicious food for sparrows. It is hardly unexpected that farmers—male and female—cooperate well to protect their rice from sparrows, whom they view as pests.

The expanse of rice fields is an attraction in itself when seen from a distance, especially as the sun's rays lick the strands of netting beneath which are rice branches, which are starting to bend as the grains of rice become increasingly full. This approach, in my opinion, is both very humanitarian and highly effective, because it doesn't have to destroy the habitat of sparrows as living creatures that need food.

The nets chosen by farmers here are tailored to the size of sparrows, which are known to be small and agile. So if a sparrow breaks through, it will get caught in the threads of the net.

Even now, two sparrows have managed to break through and get trapped between the net threads. And freedom in the wild is their habitat, and that right is immediately given back to them. Because natural balance is the main thing. Of course, hopefully both entertaining and helpful!

Releasing birds back into nature is a cool thing, my friend, and that's how it should be.

I agree with you, that's their habitat. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
