Yeh parinda shehar ke shor-sharaabe mein bhi jeeta hai, aur iski adaptability ne ise ek urban superstar bana diya hai.

Kya aapne kabhi dekha hai kaise chidiyaan, jaise ki house sparrows, apne nivas ke liye purane buildings ka istemal karte hain? 2016 mein, The Times of India ne report kiya tha ki Delhi ke purane haveliyaan in chidiyaon ke liye perfect nesting sites ban gayi hain. Yeh jaanwar gharon ke chhaton aur balconies par nest banakar apna jeevan vyatit karte hain, jahan unhe predators se suraksha aur khana aasani se milta hai.

Parindon se alawa, kuch aur jaanwar bhi urban environments mein thrive karte hain. Jaise ki Indian grey mongoose (Herpestes edwardsii), yeh chhote shikaar parindon ke liye ek shikaar karne wala hai.
