From London to Paris, from Athens to Istanbul, the green parakeets of India have now spreaded and dominated the entire Indo-European stretch. In so many cities, you can hear their voices in the sky, with their numbers that are doubling every year, though nowhere as loud as in Mumbai, which has become their global hub. The biggest swarm here started from a single woman’s 6th floor 2BhK flat in Khar where she began feeding the parakeets in 1997. All flocks around the world has taken at least one migration here in their lifespan, and many have wounded up staying.
After the events of the 2040s, green parakeets and their global diasporic mutations have dominated the rooftops of Bandra, Khar and parts of Worli, covering the tops of entire high rises and bungalows in swarms of green (with occasional dabs of other colors, the hybrids or the others which hav e officially joined in the swarm). In some buildings, tropical plants have begun to grow from the droppings and seeds – particularly vines which had less need for soil and the spread of roots.
Each part of the city and its (formerly) tallest earth-bound towers are now the South Asian or international hub for a different group of winged creatures – each with clearly carved out territories.
