A young Sarus crane was caught by one of his attendants was picked up by one of his attendants and taken to Dhaboi. The bird became a favourite of the household, petted and fed. He was 6ft high when fully grown and very domesticated by then. The crane was equally loved and tended by all at Bharuch.
