About These Birds
Grey Crowned Crane
Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) is a tall 100–110 cm crane of eastern and southern African grasslands and wetlands. Grey body, white and red facial wattles, and a distinctive golden bristle crown. Inhabits open grassland, cultivated land, and wetland margins from Kenya south to South Africa. Roosts in trees.
Jungfernkranich
Der Jungfernkranich ist die kleinste Kranichart, unternimmt jedoch einen der anstrengendsten Vogelzüge, indem er den Himalaya in Höhen von über 8.000 Metern überquert, um seine Winterquartiere in Indien zu erreichen. Wegen seiner eleganten Erscheinung von Marie-Antoinette benannt, ist er die zweithäufigste Kranichart der Welt.
