It is all cameras out at Khareghat Colony on Hughes Road as peacocks are strutting the quiet lanes of the iconic SoBo colony. Since the lockdown, some say the sightings have become more frequent, while others are of the opinion that residents, who are home all day, get more chance to see the birds.

Aspi Irani from the Colony at Babulnath, said, "The peacocks are a regular feature of our colony. This is generally a peaceful place, since several buildings are tucked away inside. It becomes quieter after most people leave for work. The peacocks arrive by 3 to 4 pm, almost everyday, though we may be seeing more of them now." The birds come from Doongerwadi, behind the colony, and residents give them food. "My three year-old grandson is delighted to see them more in numbers these days," added Irani.
