Cranes are feisty, and remarkably tough birds. Nature’s epitome of elegance and grace, revered in cultures around the world. The fifteen species are famed for their beauty, epic migrations, and above all, their dance. All are united by their fondness for bird ballet. They are faithful lovers, dedicated parents, and brave fighters. Iconic and enduring symbols of longevity, luck, and love. All over the world, migrating birds can bring joy. Their return to hallowed grounds is cause for great excitement. The cranes act like teenagers finding their first love, though in fact, most couples have been together for years. Only after their chicks have hatched and grown will the birds become more social again, gathering in small flocks with their young. They will soon be on the move - and the Dance of the Cranes will start once more.
