Grey Crowned Cranes (Balearica regulorum)
They sure do like to dance.
They really do. It’s a breeding display and they like to ‘throw shapes’ in order to attract a mate. Can you dance like a crane? Well, if you can move your feet, bow and jump then you’ve got the basic crowned crane dance steps!
Grey crowned cranes like to share their parental duties. Both the male and the female help to build the nest. They both help out with incubating the egg and also caring for the young.
