Kokrebellur

Kokkarebellur, usually shortened by the colloquial usage to Kokrebellur is a village in Maddur taluk of Mandya district of Karnataka, India. The village is named after the painted stork(Ibis leucocephalus) called "kokkare" in Kannada language. It is situated near Maddur between the cities of Mysore and Bangalore.

The uniqueness in Kokkarebellur is the long established bonding between the spot-billed pelicans and the villagers who have adopted this bird as their heritage, since they consider the birds as harbingers of good luck and prosperity to the village. The benefits derived by the villagers from these birds are basically in the form of phosphorus and potassium rich manure obtained from the bird droppings (also known as guano). Further, over the years, the popularity of this uniqueness has also attracted tourists to the village to watch the birds. The birds attracting visiters by their living style and its fair color. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prem Uday Kumar (talk • contribs) 07:36, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
