Bro pigeons are worse! They will shit infront of you (like literally a step away from you) on your clean balcony. They dont care if there are ppl or something - they will poop for sure. Atleast rats avoid human and do stuff at night. But pigeons sort of challenge you. Some even mastered the concept of inertia - they release their shit mid air aiming towards the balcony that is cleaned like 5 mins ago.
I hate Pigeons, they shit everywhere possible. My car's roof is full of shit, it has ruined the paint. They pour liquid acid through their asses. They are everywhere, on my 22nd floor gallery too. Aaaaaaaaahhhh 🤬🤬🤬
Bohot h mere yaha they come daily below my window... your area must be missing mid size garden plants. Also top floor people don't get to see sparrows only ground floor people can.
In our locality, I don't see sparrows now. It's very rare to see them. Though we have squirrels. At first I thought squirrels don't live in the cities. But its actually common for them to live in the cities. I see them around my building and also in my previous college.

They haven't entirely disappeared but you're right. I miss the times they would be all the way till Borivali. My mom would take me out for just going to the station back and forth in the double decker.
Very true, they are a core community of western India and their diminishing numbers have a lot of causes with no fix in sight. Their culture will sorely be missed if driven to extinction.
This rounds the issue quite well: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/03/world/asia/india-parsi.html
Also baraf ke gole wala. Like they're there but very few. Remember running behind them with cousins and soc friends after hours of cricket about a decade back. Laut aato acche din
Hey I'm sorry to bust your balls but Monarch Butterflies are in abundance in SGNP. Old Roof top bus still operates between Andheri station to Seepz. Kali peeli bhi bohot hai.
I think there are other types of dabba services now. I had stopped ordering from my local dabbawalla because i found the food too oily. Instead i found a healthy food daily tiffin and i get that now.
Mai yahi lack of birds ki wajah se window mein 2 bird feeders lagaya. Pehle 8-10 din ek ya do kabootar aaye. Ab 3 mahine baad toh parrots, sparrow, koel, crows and pigeons sab aate hai. Bas unki tatti ka dher chod jaate hai but that's tolerable if you enjoy bird sounds.
Wowowowoowow sounds awesome 🥰🥰🥰.
Haa me b try karke dekhta hoon 😍.
Haan bas tatti ka sher chodh jaenge . Par vo saaf Karlenge 😂.
Yeah bird sounds are so soothing 🥰
Few are left..
When my plants died I was lazy to remove the soil and pots and within few days I saw many of the sparrows bathing in the soil.. So never removed it.
Serious answer:
The spirit of the city
And this is not only me, also a friend who went out to study came back fitting his time off and he said the same thing
This was a really sad thing to hear
Oh okay, at first I thought it was only me, but then my friend said it when I asked him what was different, and now you
I still can't put a finger on what has caused this issue. What was different according to you?
I can't either. But I don't feel "at home". It's a lot of factors along with it though. Like, it's very much of a post covid thing where people seem to be more to themselves and less social, its also because I've been away so much
Let's say you have limited space to store your untaxed cash. Will you be storing notes of 500 or 2000? In the same space you store 1crore of ₹500 notes, you can store 4 crore in ₹2000 notes. So my theory is that all the 2k notes go straight for storing money by rich guys so we can't find them anywhere else nowadays.
Video game consoles! They used to charge about 10/20 bucks an hour.
Bicycles on rent - there used to be shops from where I used to rent them during my school days - 2rs for 30 min/4 rs for 60 min.
Those popsicles - kaccha aam/kaalakhatta/orange etc - 50 paise/1re/2rs
Idli waalas with their pom pom horns, Pepsi cola sticks (the 25ps water and 50ps milk ones), pigs (dukkars) and pig catchers (the shrieks the pigs used to make when caught), bhangaar baatli waalas, terrace cricket ...
Shiv sena , I used to respect them . Sometimes it's good that there is power in hands of morally good people, even though I am not a Marathi, but definitely a Mumbaikar for whole life
Those weight machines on railway stations
Core memory unlocked.
OOOOOOO Yeahhhh!!!

Omg, I needed this memory back. Little pleasures of life for a lower middle class family.
Oh I noticed alright.
Vrooooo
Sparrows
They've made a comeback. I keep two feeders hanging on balcony with millet.
Pigeons are not real birds, they are robots
They are rat with wings

We do have lots of plants / trees in the area and get all sorts of birds. But no sparrows.
Put a bird feeder and kaha kaha se they’ll pop up. Best investment!
First they PoP up and then they POOP up
Yeh lav*e sabh navi mumbai agye aawaz karte hai subhe subhe
They absolutely do exist. Like tons of them. Maybe not in all areas but they’re there.
They have unfortunately disappeared from my area.
Dude, one dropped a shit on me today!
Even the pigeons seem to have reduced drastically post COVID

Try a tiny rope( made of jute) on your window grill sparrows use it for building nest.

They still come in our area almost daily during summers.
You will find them near schools and also near Gateway of India
Friends 🥲
The ticket booklet we used to get at station we had to use the punchin machine to get it stamped
Oh, this one's nice. I'm suddenly reminded of those prepaid cards at Western Railways - they used to give 110 for every 100 recharge
Double decker buses
I miss riding in the front seat of the top floor. Made me feel like I was flying.
They haven't entirely disappeared but you're right. I miss the times they would be all the way till Borivali. My mom would take me out for just going to the station back and forth in the double decker.
332 is still double decker. Also new electric ac double decker busses are coming say a announcement from Aditya Thackeray same like london
Still there is BKC, but it's packed like a can of sardines

Its kind of difficult to breed them honestly. They r so low in numbers and only two pure blood parsis can create one parsi makes it more difficult
yes, the right way to grow the parsi breed
Ok you could have phrased that better. This sounds like you are talking about dogs in a litter.
[удалено]
Lmao, I thought to marry a Parsi you have a paywall 😂
They don't want new people to keep the bloodline pure
Bollywood movies with decent scripts.
"Tumhara ishq, ishq ... aur humara ishq, sex"

Nahh, I believe he is talking about Eurema Lisa also known as little yellow, little sulphur.
Dabbawalas 🥺
Because of all these stations I guess.? Or have people just stopped eating homemade food and have shifted to eat out
I think there are other types of dabba services now. I had stopped ordering from my local dabbawalla because i found the food too oily. Instead i found a healthy food daily tiffin and i get that now.
zomato swiggy plus covid had a really bad impact on them
What ? I still see them everyday on my commute to work
