Which/who for living being other than human

#1 Sacheley is the bird who can fly so high that it is hard for us to catch it easily.


I read a rule saying in modern English we use "who" for non human living beings like birds, animal etc. But my answer sheet say it should be "which" instead of "who".


Thank you

You've given the bird a name, so it becomes more like a pet! "Pets are generally referred to in relative clauses by "who".
