Amid the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s ban on feeding pigeons and closing old kabutarkhanas in the city, PETA India on Tuesday staged a silent protest, donning bird masks.

Five members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India donned pigeon masks and dressed like quintessential Mumbaikars —an autorickshaw driver, a woman in a traditional navvari (nine-yard sari), an officegoer and a man in a kurta and dhoti, holding the signboard "We Are Mumbaikars Too, Please Be Kind to Us."
