Zoo officials said they are hopeful things will improve soon. Kanpur zoo director Krishna Kumar Singh told NDTV the sarus crane has got used to eating cooked food. "The crane is not eating its actual diet; it has become used to eating cooked food. The crane is in quarantine for 15 days. We are trying to wean it away from cooked food to its natural raw diet," Mr Singh said.
