African Crowned Crane

The African Crowned Crane is the national bird of Uganda featured in the country’s flag and coat of arms. Their fancy heads have a crown of stiff golden feathers. Although the Crowned Cranes remain common over much of their range, they face threats to their habitat due to drainage, overgrazing, and pesticide pollution. These birds are very showy and pairs often engage in displays. If you are lucky enough to witness these displays, you will be treated to a spectacular show. Their long hind toe can grasp branches as well as attention.
