In mid 1950s we were living in Uganda and one day a crested crane flew into our garden and stayed freely for about a year, coming and going. It liked the roof top of our house which was covered by a bougainvillea. When it saw mum, it would fly down and dance around her as in this film and it seemed to adapt its dance according to the colour of her skirt. When we drove the 33 miles to Kampala to shop, it would fly with us, for a while before turning back to wait for us at home and I'd lean out of the passenger window to watch him flying over us, calling out to him 'Ciccio' and waving. On one such day, it hadn't returned and so we went looking for it. We asked in the nearby villages to no avail. It went as suddenly as it'd come and Ciccio has never been forgotten. Perhaps he'd found a proper mate.
"Did you know that grey crowned cranes live with flamingos?" No, I did not know. There are no flamingos in West Africa, and that is where the grey crowned crane ranges. If you meant to say black crowned crane, now you are talking. They range in the Horn of Africa down to southern Africa.
@@bircruz555 Well, I meant the grey crowned cranes live with the lesser flamingos in this picture. c8.alamy.com/comp/BCAJ87/black-crowned-crane-balearica-pavonina-colony-of-lesser-flamingos-BCAJ87.jpg
@@diegocarrillo472 I guess you are right. Uganda has the bird as its national symbol. They describe it as grey crowned crane. There must be an overlap in where they range.
Why do they dance are they trying to attract a mate? We went to the zoo yesterday and we named him puff head and he was kicking the tree and then like five seconds later dancing while looking at my mom😂

Questions
1. Did you know that grey crowned cranes live with flamingos?
2. Any videos that have the two birds?

Is there music in the wild as these birds dance? Adding music ruins it unless its meant to be a comedy. People cant stand the silence while watching.
so beautiful and pleasing, don't forget to visit back my brother. success always for you😘😘

My home country’s national bird 🇳🇬 ! Too bad it’s endangered
Go away
@@arindajohnson8306 why?
@@kefur2338 Nigeria isn't represented by a crested crane
Nigerians love claiming things that have nothing to do with them 🤣
@@alickaliker7322 Its their nature😀. Historically the crested crane is a symbol of only one country in the whole world; Uganda🇺🇬
