This village is a hotspot for painted storks as also many other birds that come to nest in this village due to the Koondakulum lake being nearby. These birds come during November-December and they are associated with prosperity and their droppings are very good fertilizers for the farms. The significance of the bird is understood by all the members of the village. They have also started a nursery to help nurse fledglings back to health. In 1994, this area was turned into a sanctuary. Rise in tourism , as this area is a famous picnic spot, has been detrimental to the conservation of this area.
