Back in 2020, just after the Covid lockdown started in India, a parrot sneaked into Shalby's house in Pachalam in Kerala's Kochi. Shalby fed the bird that day. The next day, other parrots also joined the bird. Their numbers kept rising and now, almost more than 50 birds, including 40 parrots, some sparrows and pigeons are visiting his house daily.
The birds apparently come two or three times daily, to feed in morning around 6.30 am and again in the afternoon and later in the evening, before sunset. And Shalby feeds all of them every...single...day!
Shelby usually places food on top of a wall and the birds perch peacefully and eat.

In a remarkable unearthing, palaeontologists have discovered a massive fossil of a snake in Gujarat being reported as the ‘largest snake’ that ever existed!

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a batch of petitions seeking mandatory cross-verification of the votes cast in Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) with Voter-Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips. However, a bench headed by Justice Sanjiv Khanna asked the Election Commission of India to examine the suggestion if the VVPAT slips may have unique barcodes on them in addition to the party symbol, which in turn could be counted by an electronic machine.
Vice-Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi has been appointed the next Chief of the Naval Staff by the government. He will take charge on April 30 after the superannuation of the current chief, Admiral R. Hari Kumar.
In 1977, then Chief Election Commissioner Sham Lal Shakdher asked the Electronics Corporation of India to develop a prototype of voting machine or as he termed it ‘balloting unit’. It was because of highly priced ballot papers that were not easy to handle and were prone to fraudulent practices.
