Amaravati, January 05, 2026: In the lush Godavari delta spanning East and West Godavari districts, including hotspots like Ravulapalem, Bhimavaram, Undi, and nearby Vijayawada owners and trainers ready their roosters for Sankranti showdowns.
Training kicks off around Dasara, intensifying two months before the festival with nutrient-rich diets of minced meat, dry fruit laddus, boiled greens, and egg whites.
Birds follow strict routines: outdoor exercises from dawn to afternoon, swimming for agility, hand-feeding to build trust, and group drills to sharpen instincts. A final rest week includes vitamins, herbal water treatments, and steam therapy to ward off winter ailments.
