The grey crowned cranes are just as majestic as their name suggests. These birds have grey bodies, white wings with brown and golden feathers, white cheeks, long legs and bright red caruncles below the beak. Their most beautiful feature? The spray of straight golden feathers on their head that resembles a crown. Crowned cranes are the oldest of the cranes, and beat their relatives by several million years.
