Viral video: Navi Mumbai turns pink as thousands of flamingos flock to wetlands

Navi Mumbai's wetlands have once again turned a stunning pink as thousands of flamingos have arrived, creating a beautiful sight for everyone. A viral video shared on social media shows the water shimmering with pink as the birds move gracefully through the shallow waters.

This yearly event usually happens by November, but this year the flamingos arrived a little later due to warmer weather. Experts believe that changes in temperature and water levels in their breeding areas may have delayed their arrival.

Navi Mumbai’s wetlands are the perfect home for flamingos because they are rich in algae and small aquatic creatures the birds’ main food source. The shallow water and abundance of food make it an ideal spot for them to settle.
