‘Social Distancing‘, a word that we’ve repeatedly heard in the past few weeks. Maintaining physical distance has proved to be one of the most effective ways to stop the spread of coronavirus. And, while many have understood the importance of distancing, few others are still not taking it seriously.
Speaking of which, we can learn the concept of social distancing from the national bird of India. Yes, you heard us right. Indian Forest Services (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan recently shared an incredible picture of a group of peacocks maintaining social distance amid the lockdown.
Have a look at his tweet:

The picture featured the birds sitting inside a government school in Roon, Rajasthan, reports India Today. So, it goes without saying that we have can learn a thing or two about social distancing from the wildlife.
Many people admired the peacock’s sitting arrangement and suggested humans should learn about social distancing from them:
