The bird was resting on Dhoni's hand as he posed for a picture.
Ziva Dhoni got to see a Coppersmith bird for the first time but not the way she would have expected. The four-year-old saw the birdy lying unconscious in their farmhouse's lawn.
In an Instagram post on Ziva's official account, pictures of the birds were posted and the story behind how the unharmful creature got revived was also shared.

"Today in the evening on my lawn I saw a bird lying unconscious. I shouted for papa and mumma. Papa held the bird in his hand and made her have some water. After some time it opened its eyes. All of us were very happy," Ziva wrote as the caption. "We placed her in a basket on top of some leaves.
"Mumma told me it is Crimson-breasted Barbet and is also called Coppersmith. What a pretty, pretty little bird. Then suddenly it flew off. I wanted it to stay, but mumma told me she had gone to her mom. I am sure I will see her again!".
The bird was sitting quietly on Dhoni's palm as he posed for a picture.
