鸣唱

Spectacular unison 'bugling' call: a clear, resonant, far-carrying trumpet 'kru-ru-ru' given by paired birds simultaneously. Among the most majestic bird calls in Asia.

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.
