As people continue to be at homes due to the coronavirus, there is an increase in the number of wild animals and birds frequenting cities. While peacocks were found in South Bombay's Parsi colony, dolphins were spotted off Mumbai coast earlier last month.

Flamingos are known for their stilt type legs, pink feathers, and S-shape neck. Every year flamingos migrate to Sewri mudflat in Mumbai, however this year they seem to be more in numbers. Thousands of greater and lesser flamingos migrate from Kutch to Mumbai. Their pinkish colour comes from the pigments in the shrimp and algae they feed on. Reportedly, between 30,000 and 40,000 of the large pink birds arrived in Maharashtra.
