The Kanpur Zoo has found that the Sarus bird, who became famous for its friendship with a human, is female, and will be paired with a male. The zoo will not release the bird into a sanctuary, as they see it as a lucky find due to the scarce female population of the bird in the area. The bird has not been eating properly since being brought to the zoo in March, and officials are working on improving its diet.
