Black Crowned Crane
Balearica pavonina
The Black Crowned Crane inhabits African wetlands, floodplains, savannas, and cultivated fields. It forages by walking through grass or shallow water, eating insects, grains, seeds, frogs, and other small animals. Its striking golden crown of stiff feathers is used in elaborate courtship displays that include bows, jumps, and wing spreading.
