Savitha Rayanna, a resident of the village said “Every morning the bird would come to my verandah and that’s when I would know it was 8 am. I would keep a handful of grains for it and it would so actively pick every grain and fly away. Even our relatives who visited us loved the little creature. My children always waited for it to come. It made our mornings better. We will miss it for a long time.”
