Animals and birds are enjoying free space now / myLot

My city is almost like a concrete jungle with the roads always full of traffic. But now with a lockdown the roads are looking bare and beautiful. There is a part of my city where sometimes a peacock has been spotted. But now with no vehicles on the road a group of peacocks are roaming freely. They are definitely enjoying the lockdown and would be most disappointed when our life gets back to normal. This is a photo that has been doing the rounds on whattsap and people just cannot stop talking about it.

Heard it does happen sometimes when they coming flying out of nowhere. I have once experienced a peacock flying past just ahead of my car. Luckily it was a few feet away and our driver slowed down the vehicle immediately.

@anil02 Birds are essential but I don't think they would survive in a concrete jungle like my city.

It does not take long for animals to take over.

@mayka123 We still have traffic. I like to see the roads empty now. I am glad you can see the beauty now and not the pollution on the roads. I am sorry for the peacocks.

This has ever been the best time for animals and birds. Fortunately, this virus does not harm them otherwise, it would have been the saddest: people may kill them rather than locking down or stopping the business.

@mayka123 True indeed. It will again be sad once human vultures start going out putting their lives in danger :(
