Sarus Bird

Arif Khan Gurjar, whose friendship with a Sarus crane has melted hearts, wants the bird to get back its freedom once its quarantine at a Uttar Pradesh zoo ends.

BJP MP Varun Gandhi today pitched for the release of a Sarus crane from an Uttar Pradesh sanctuary and said it should be reunited with the man who had rescued the bird and took care of it for over a year.

Farmer Mohammad Arif revealed that the officials arrived at his home on Tuesday afternoon, and told him the bird could no longer stay with him

The Sarus crane that lived with Arif Khan Gurjar in Amethi district, accompanied him to his fields and was accepted as a family member. On Tuesday, the bird was taken away by forest department officials to the Samaspur Bird Sanctuary

The heartwarming story of Arif Khan Gurjar and the sarus crane is over -- and the bird's relocation to the wild has provoked Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav to take potshots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

A video showing a man's unlikely friendship with a sarus crane is going viral on social media. The short clip was shared on Twitter by Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Awanish Sharan on Friday.
