Village Kheechan is situated near Jodhpur, which is natural sanctuary to the bird Kurjan. This bird mainly belongs to South Western Europe, Black Sea, Poland, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, North and South Africa and Magnolia. It is known as Democial Crane. In India, this bird is known as Kurjan, Karkara and Kunch. It spends 6 months (from April to September) in Europe and 6 month (Oct to March) in India. Because it reproduces in Europe it is considered to be a native of that place. It comes to India when Europe becomes intolerably cold, while Indian Winters are suitable for it. India receives lakhas of these birds during the session, out of which 4 to 6 thousand come to the dues and ponds of Kheechan. Weighing 4 to 6 kg this carne is the favourite of hunters though hunting is prohibited. That is why it lives on plains, rather than on the treetops. That's why it can see hunters from a safe distance. It is around three feet height, with male and female looking alike. The body is light gray, neck and chest black, with feathers longer than other parts of the body. Ear line can be seen behind the eyes. Beak is dirty green with the inner portion serrated and feet are black. Its voice is loud and harsh. While flying as it makes a lot of noise and sounds like 'kurr-kurr', thus it is known as kurjan in India. Its neck and feet are spread while flying as it makes a V shape. It makes a haphazard nest in swamy areas and lays two eggs at a time.
