Flamingos paint the sky pink
Meanwhile, flamingos recently became the talk of the town as they flocked to Navi Mumbai’s creek and painted the sky pink. Every year thousands of greater and lesser flamingos migrate to Mumbai. These are said to be flying all the way from Iran with their main breeding ground being India.
