The bird has a black cap, white cheek patch, and a red wattle, with long silky gray plumage curving along its neck. Background is softly blurred, highlighting the crane’s regal profile and ornate textures.

A second one for #BlueSkyArtShow #Sideways (hope that this is allowed!). This #GreyCrownedCrane has an absolutely magnificent mohawk in profile! Teenage me would be very envious!

🌍 Grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum) 

The grey crowned crane is a striking bird, approximately 1 metre tall, with a predominantly grey body, white wings with gold and brown feathers, and a distinctive black patch. Its head is crowned with stiff golden feathers, complemented by white cheek patches and a vibrant red inflatable throat pouch. Its legs are long and black, suited for wading.

This species is found across eastern and southern Africa, inhabiting wetlands, grasslands, and savannahs, often near water bodies. They are non-migratory but undertake local movements based on food and water availability.

Grey crowned cranes are highly social, often forming flocks of 30-150 individuals outside the breeding season. They are known for their elaborate courtship dances, involving bowing, jumping, and wing flapping, accompanied by booming calls from their inflated gular sac. Uniquely among cranes, they can roost in trees due to a long hind toe. They are monogamous and maintain strong pair bonds. 2.5 Flash (Edited) 

Two subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Endangered (IUCN 3.1)

The Grey-crowned Crane, a symbol of elegance in East Africa, captivates with its golden crown of feathers and enchanting courtship rituals. Thriving in wetlands, grasslands, and cultivated areas, particularly in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, this bird holds the prestigious title of Uganda's national bird. Often spotted in pairs or small family units, these cranes have a diverse diet encompassing insects, seeds, and small vertebrates. Known for their monogamous nature, they engage in intricate dances involving bows, jumps, and wing movements. With their regal presence and melodic honking, the Grey-crowned Crane contributes to the allure and natural splendor of East Africa's avian landscape. #greycrownedcrane #birding🐦 #birdphotography🦜 #kenyabirding🪶 #birdsofeastafrica🪽 https://www.kwezisafaris.com/

Why Uganda's iconic crested crane faces extinction The population of the national bird is declining partly due to encroachment on wetlands by farmers.

"In eastern Africa, the population has declined terribly by over 80% in the last 25 years," Adalbert Ainomucunguzi, who leads the International Crane Foundation in East Africa, told BBC. 🌍🪶 #greycrownedcrane #birds
