Blue Cranes - The Masters of Mischief and Maize Mayhem!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, Alan Weaving captures a delightful scene straight out of the mischievous world of Blue Cranes. These endemic and vulnerable birds, known as the world's most range-restricted crane species, are causing quite a stir in South Africa's Mountain Zebra National Park. With their half-grown chicks in tow, these feathered troublemakers roam freely through vleis, grasslands, karoo scrub, and even agricultural lands. Their diverse palate includes everything from bulbs to fish – no wonder they're considered culinary connoisseurs! However, it seems that these adorable avian adventurers have developed a taste for trouble too. Farmers beware! These cunning cranes have been caught red-beaked damaging crops like maize, wheat, and lucerne. They certainly know how to make an entrance into any farmer's field! But let's not hold their crop-crunching antics against them; after all, who can resist those fluffy juveniles? This family portrait showcases four adult Blue Cranes proudly parading with their young ones by their side. It's a heartwarming reminder that even the naughtiest members of wildlife families bring joy to our lives. So grab your popcorn (and maybe some extra maize) because this bird brigade is here to entertain you with their audacious adventures across South Africa's stunning savannahs and grasslands.
