Kokkrebellur Pelicanry From December to April every year, hundreds of winged visitors come together to set up a unique orchestra at Kokkrebellur with their shrill cries and cacophonous calls. You can watch the performances of painted storks and pelicans, resplendent in their breeding plumage and the frail looking but gregarious fledglings perched atop the tamarind, peepul and Portia trees dotting the village. These birds have become an integral part of this tiny hamlet in the sugarcane-rich Mandya district; the villagers look after them like family members.
