Unbelievable story after man saves red-crowned crane

A man in India has formed an unlikely bond with a red-crowned crane he rescued after finding the animal with a broken leg .

Recently, Newsflare reported that Mr. Arif, a farmer in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, India, was on his way to his field when he discovered the bird struggling and unable to move when he approached.

The farmer then picked up the bird and brought it into his house, where Arif was able to bandage the bird's broken leg.

Arif is feeding the red-crowned crane.

Arif and his family hoped the bird would fly away once its leg healed, but the red-crowned crane had become an indispensable part of their lives.

The footage shows Arif feeding birds and even a red-crowned crane flying alongside him as he drives his motorbike down the road.

Arif said that there were no restrictions on the bird and it was free to fly away at any time.

Sarus crane, scientific name Grus antigone, includes 3 species: Indian crane (Grus antigone antigone), Oriental crane (Grus antigone sharpii) and Australian crane (Grus antigone gilla). This is a rare bird subspecies in southern Vietnam, listed in the Vietnam Red Book and the IUCN Red Book of the world.

In the cultural beliefs of many countries, the red-crowned crane symbolizes holiness and fidelity.
