(Elias Marat) As India’s 1.3 billion residents face strict lockdown measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, the South Asian country has witnessed a return of nature to many locations—including a massive influx of flamingos into the nation’s largest city.

Tens of thousands of the large pink birds have been arriving at Mumbai in recent weeks, with many of the gorgeous creatures simply overrunning urban areas that are thrived with human activity such as construction work and fishing in pre-quarantine days.

While Science Times reports that the flamingos have traditionally migrated to Mumbai metropolis during the October to March feeding and breeding season, the absence of city residents from its streets and open spaces has meant that the bird population has not only increased, but has made itself at home in and around the massive metropolitan zone.

Photographs shared on social media show the pink birds lounging on the apartment buildings above the city’s wetlands and along the mudflats of Thane Creek.

Experts also say that the flamingos have enjoyed a recent population boom, as evidenced by the 150,000 birds that have arrived in Mumba this—a 25 percent boost over last year, according to an estimate by the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS).

The nationwide lockdown has also seen industrial waste discharge decline while sewage from homes has skyrocketed, resulting in a proliferation of the plankton and algae that comprises the diet of the large birds.

BNHS Director Deepak Apte told the Hindustan Times:

“A major reason for the large numbers is also the large flocks of juveniles moving to these sites, following the successful breeding documented two years ago.

“Additionally, the lockdown is giving these birds peace for roosting, no disturbance in their attempt to obtain food, and overall encouraging habitat.”

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

Truth, beauty, and goodness, are regarded in some schools of thought as three supreme values. If one appreciates the fullness of truth, they’ll develop the capacity to see beauty in all things, thereby capable of acting for the good in one’s life. Psychologically, we need to appreciate beauty to ensure a positive life outlook. The mind is designed to reflect reality within, which is then evaluated as good or bad. The animal mind assumes things are “bad” so that it can ensure your survival. The human, spiritualizing mind, has the capacity to see the truth, recognize beauty and appraise all of this as good, thereby creating a node of positivity in your memory. The overall disposition you feel toward life, your mood, and worldview, are informed by the tapestry of evaluations in all life’s situations. Thus, to appreciate beauty improves your world view, it makes you feel better about life in general. It helps you overcome depression, maintain inspiration, and stave off boredom. Combined with the desire to grow and evolve, to become wise, honorable, and an agent for good, the hardships of life become opportunities to bring goodness into the world, though you’re creative deeds. In the act of heeding this supreme calling, you become an agent for good, living a fulfilling life for yourself, while making the world a better place through your increasingly joy-infused acts of compassion, kindness, righteous defense, and truthfully guided ways. The following information reveals some of this power of beauty, discussing the effects of appreciating it or showing you beauty in nature or created by others.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
