In this situation, snakes, scorpions, mandagaba and other poisonous insects often come to the village to bite people, causing people to feel frightened when they wander around the village at night. However, over the past few years, peacocks have been protecting the villages, so such cases have decreased. The national bird peacock has become Gudipatipalli in Veligandla mandal, Kattakindapalli village, Hanumantunipadu mandal ) of the village of Mangampalli.

It is understood that a few years ago, some young people in the village went to the forest to herd cattle. He found five eggs in the forest. Although the eggs looked big, he took them to the village. In such a situation, when the peacock egg breaks and the peacock comes out as a chick, the villagers are frightened after seeing it. It was believed that if peacocks were kept in the village, the forest officials would be in trouble. Nonetheless, he left the peacock in the village, and over time, the baby peacock grew up.
