Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the last couple of years have been drastic in terms of human behavioral patterns. People were forced to stay at home for a very long duration because of the strict lockdown measures imposed by governments all over the globe. India was no exception, wherein the Indian government imposed several very strict lockdowns all across the country, which restricted human activities and their social behaviors. However, such restrictions were seen to have a positive impact on environment and ecology. In this paper, we aim to study the changes in House Sparrow sightings, as a result of the lockdowns. Are the house sparrows back? is the question we try to answer, using appropriate exploratory analysis and statistical modelling.
