Jerdon’s Courser, a critically endangered species, is exclusively endemic to Andhra Pradesh, specifically within the Sri Lankamalleswara wildlife sanctuary in Kadapa.
It is locally called Kalivi Kodi.
However, this elusive bird has not been visually spotted in over a decade.
Kalivi Kodi was listed among the 50 rarest birds of the world.
Once thought extinct, with no records after 1900, the species was miraculously rediscovered in 1986 near Reddipalli village in Kadapa.
