Main article: Uppalapadu Bird Sanctuary
The Bird Center is located just after the village entrance. The water tanks in the village are unique as they provide refuge to many species of birds, including endangered spot-billed pelicans and painted storks. The birds migrate here from various places such as Siberia and Australia, and use the center for nesting.[3]
