At Visakhapatnam’s Indira Gandhi Zoological Park, painted storks and pelicans have gotten an surprising break.

As soon as confined to enclosures, these elegant birds have roamed freely ever since Cyclone Hudhud destroyed the enclosures in 2014.

Adapting effortlessly, they now glide over the zoo’s lush greenery, usually visiting close by waterbodies seeking meals earlier than returning to the tree tops on the zoo.

Their hanging pink-tipped wings and swish actions add to the zoo park’s appeal, providing guests a uncommon glimpse of wildlife exterior enclosures.
