About These Birds
Sarus Crane
Sarus Crane (Grus antigone) is the world's tallest flying bird, standing 150–180 cm. Grey with red bare skin on head and upper neck; pale grey wing plumes. Inhabits open wetlands, rice paddies, and grasslands in India, South-East Asia, and Australia. Pair-bonded for life.
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.
