Cranes are one of the largest birds. They can grow from 90 to more than 150 cm. The Demoiselle Crane is the smallest of all the cranes. The Crane is the world’s tallest flying bird. It can stand up to 175cm. Most cranes are gray and have a red stripe across their eyes. There bill, legs, and feet are black. The outer feathers are a dark gray almost black. Most are found in Sweden. Some are found in other parts of the world but this is the main place. There are unknown resources of how many there are but I do know that they are slowly losing more and more of their population. I learned that when the males see the females they flap there feathers and start spinning in circles. Kind of like they're dancing.
