As soon as the loader would come near the nest the bird would flare its wings in a stance to attack the machine. In the tweet, Mahindra wrote ‘Maa tujhe salaam’ in a way to show the love of mothers in every species.

Very much intentional for more & more likes. Such videos has to be criticized instead of sharing. @anandmahindra sir shared this video and indirectly encouraged the act and also popularized the video which he shouldn't have. Innocent bird has suffered a lot

Looks like intentional video to put the bird into trauma. Wish someone does similar to the JCB driver and the guy who took the video to their children and house

Sorry sir, we all know how mother takes care of their children, but to prove that what was the necessity to put that innocent bird in that shock. Who understands the trauma that bird might have suffered. The one who made this video did this only for likes, nothing else.

And here’s a great desi example of how zero is just a starting point for greatness. For all those in the world who thought India was too populous & too poor to ever have clean, hygienic cities, well the people of Indore have proven otherwise. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 pic.twitter.com/xdEXpVMQjH
