What's the history of the Crowned Cranes? I want to hear their best.
Red-crowned Cranes are the only crane species that have white primary feathers. Adult forehead and crown are covered with bare red skin, and a large white band extends from behind the eyes and meets sharply with the black lower neck. The majority of the body is pure white with the exception of black secondary and tertiary feathers. Eyes are black and legs are slaty to grayish black. Males and females are virtually indistinguishable, although males tend to be slightly larger in size.
Juveniles are a combination of white, partly tawny, cinnamon brown, and/ or grayish plumage. The neck collar is grayish to coffee brown, the secondaries are dull black and brown, and the crown and forehead are covered with gray and tawny feathers. The legs and bill are similar to those of adults, but lighter in color. The primaries are white, tipped with black, as are the upper primary coverts. At two years of age the primaries are replaced with all white feathers.
lol - but u forgot they can be dangerous on the field, too!
