About These Birds
Brolga
Brolga (Grus rubicunda) is Australia's only native crane, standing 100–130 cm. Grey with bare red skin on head; grey dewlap. Inhabits open tropical and sub-tropical grasslands, floodplains, and wetlands across northern and eastern Australia. Spectacular communal displays during breeding season.
Red-crowned Crane
The red-crowned crane is one of the rarest crane species and a potent symbol of longevity and fidelity in East Asian culture. Their elaborate unison call and dancing displays have inspired art and folklore for millennia. The resident population on Hokkaido, Japan, recovered from about 33 birds in 1952 to over 1,800 today.
