Description

An alternate name for the elegant gray crowned crane is a golden crowned crane which seems more appropriate! It is one of the most spectacular and showy birds in Zimbabwe. So we were thrilled to run across it one evening on our safari drive. These long-legged birds have gray bodies, white wings with brown and gold feathers, white cheeks, and bright red gular sacs underneath their chins. The most distinctive feature is a crown of stiff golden feathers on the head. The long black legs and large feed are adapted for balance and for wading through the grasses. They are listed as endangered due to threats such as habitat loss and illegal removal of birds and their eggs from the wild.
