SARUS CRANE...
HERE
The Sarus Crane is an all- year resident breeding bird found in freshwater marshes and plains of northern Pakistan, India, Nepal, Southeast Asia and Queensland, Australia. It is the world's tallest flying bird.
Physical Appearance:-
It has long red legs. Its head and upper neck are also red in colour. It is highlighted with a white crown, which is covered with green skin. It has a dark long pointed bill. Black hair- like bristles cover the upper throat and neck. They have grey feathers over the ears. Females are shorter than the males.
Characteristics:-
The Sarus crane is the tallest crane species standing at six feet tall, with a wingspan of eight feet. It weighs around 7.3 kg and stands as tall as a man. The lifespan of Sarus Crane exceeds up to 15-20 years in the wild and for 40 years in captivity.
Habitat:-
Sarus Crane prefers wetlands, cultivated fields to live. Their optimal habitat includes a combination of small seasonal marshes, floodplains, high altitude wetlands, human- altered ponds, fallow and cultivated lands, and rice paddies.
Diet:-
They are omnivorous, eating insects, aquatic plants and animals, crustaceans, seeds and berries, small vertebrates, and invertebrates. These birds are usually seen in small groups of 2-5 and they forage while walking in shallow water or in fields, sometimes probing with their long bills.
Declining Numbers:-
The total population of Sarus Crane approximately lies between 13,500 to 15,500. Loss of wetland areas, egg damage by the humans and heavy use of pesticides had seriously declined the population of Sarus Crane.
Presence In India:-
Sarus Crane is found across the northern, central and north-eastern parts of India. You can spot them in Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary, Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, Madhav National Park, Kerala Bustard Snctuary and Bhindawas Bird Sanctuary.
