It’s an unique relation between Akhil , the 11 year old son of Tarakeswar , a small businessman and Bitu , the one year old hen at Koraput that was drawing people from far and wide for the last few months . But it’s not a surprise for Akhil to share his bed , rice plate , shoulder , chair while inside the house and the cycle carrier while going out to meet friends in the neighbourhood .
Akhil understands what Bitu tries to communicate and Bitu recognizes the footsteps , voice and the rhythm of Akhil’s cycle bell . Bitu sleeps like a human being , runs like a dog and flies like a peacock , Akhil said.
While Bitu was not from any special category or species , but was an ordinary chick which was purchased by Akhil , paying Rs.2/- from the local market one year back , Jagadiswari , his mother said .
“Bitu is my brother and friend. He loves me like I do to him” Akhil repeats to every one from the curious people before his house in Mission Compound of Koraput. But with everyone , Bitu doesn’t behave as friendly as with Akhil . It even bites , hits and jumps on the strangers till Akhil intervenes . It screams at the highest of its voice while guarding the house in absence of the family members inside , Karuna Kumari , a woman in the neighbourhood said .
Bitu also has strange habits . While it eats rice&dal in lunch and dinner , Namkin biscuits with Akhil in breakfast , it does not accept any stale food . Even it catches snakes and mouse . Even though animals can’t speak like the human beings , can certainly understand the feelings of everyone, he added. Every child should love animals and birds and never should hurt them , Akhil said while kissing his friend , Bitu. We can Listen to the child .
