Help the Grey-Crowned
Crane
Hello, this is IGL and this post is about the Grey-Crowned Crane. The
Grey-Crowned is a bird found in the African countries of Kenya , Uganda ,
and Congo .
They have long black legs and their body has gray, black, white, and a golden
yellow. It leads to a slender neck with what looks like a red gobble. They have
a white cheek and a sharp black beak. But their appearance is most notable with
their “crown”. Like a plume on a helmet, it fancies a yellow glitter and a
majestic crown-like top. The Grey-Crowned Crane enjoys eating seeds, the tips
of grasses, groundnuts, soybeans, and other various types of plants. They also
enjoy tiny vertebrates and bugs. They can be heard by their loud honking sounds
they make.
The
Grey-Crowned Crane is currently endangered because of human development. They
are sometimes captured and traded in illegal process and habitat loss
contributes to their declining population. These cranes are also indirectly
poisoned by chemicals. Also, the wetlands that these birds live on are lost
because of overused pesticides, drainage, too much livestock, and power line
collisions.
There
are many way to help these beautiful birds. You could:
- Spread the word and tell people
- Start a petition and get people to sign them.
- Donate to the International Crane Foundation to help
them.
Help the Grey-Crowned Crane!
