Description

Beautiful in flight, the African Crowned Crane. The photograph you are enjoying was shat at the Lazy 5 Ranch in Mooresville, North Carolina. A most unique place to visit, where you will find over than six hundred animals and birds from five Continents. You will ride in a horse drawn wagon or drive through acres and acres of farm land,feeding deer, water buffalo, Zeebra, African Crowned Crane and much more. Crowned cranes live in southeastern Africa, including Uganda, Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique. On the menu stay in dry or wet open areas including grasslands and marshes, and they nest in open trees with a good view along

In the wild, these cranes eat grasses, grain, insects, frogs, crab, and lizards. At the zoo, they eat grain and forage for insects in their exhibit insects.
Not your average crane

The golden crown of feathers atop the east African crowned crane�s head is not the only thing that distinguishes it from other cranes. It also has a shorter bill than other cranes, which allows it to feed on a wide range of foods. Their bodies are generally dark grey with a paler neck and underbody. The face has a black patch on the forehead and red and white patches on the cheek. There is also an easily identifiable yellow tuft of bristle-like feathers on top of the head.
You can have this and other favorite photographs framed, on canvas or as a print.
