About These Birds
Black Crowned Crane
Black Crowned Crane (Balearica pavonina) is a tall 100–105 cm crane of the Sahel and West Africa. Grey body with black neck and head, red and white facial wattles, and golden crown. Inhabits wet grasslands, flooded savannas, and lake margins from Senegal east to Ethiopia and Sudan.
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.
