‘Today in the evening on my lawn I saw a bird lying unconscious. I shouted for papa and mumma. Papa held the bird in his hand and made her have some water. After some time it opened its eyes. All of us were very happy’ Ziva captioned her post.

‘We placed her in a basket on top of some leaves. Mumma told me it is crimson-breasted Barbet and is also called Coppersmith. What a pretty, pretty little bird. Then suddenly it flew off. I wanted it to stay, but mumma told me she had gone to her mom.’ She added.

The five-year-old also expressed her desire to meet the bird again. In her post, Ziva revealed that the bird was a Crimson-breasted Barbet which is also called Coppersmith. They are well-known for their metronomic call which is similar to a coppersmith striking metal with a hammer.

MS Dhoni hasn’t played competitive cricket since India’s defeat at the 2019 World Cup against New Zealand. The 38-year-old was expected to return back onto the field during IPL (2020), leading Chennai Super Kings (CSK), but the cash-rich league has been postponed due to the pandemic.
