He manu like ka crane me ke kikoo. He nani nō hoʻi ʻo ia, no laila ua kapa ʻia lāua ʻelua he manu lele. Noho ʻo Cranes ma ka ʻākau o ʻEulopa, no ka laʻana ma ka ʻākau hikina o Kelemania, Polani, a me Scandinavia. Noho lākou i ka hoʻoilo ma Sepania a ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ʻApelika. Noho pū kekahi ʻano crane ma ʻApelika, ʻAsia, a me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau.
He ʻula a ʻalani nā maka o ka crane. Aia kekahi wahi ʻulaʻula ma luna o ke poʻo i kapa ʻia ʻo "Headstock". He ʻili wale nō, ʻaʻohe hulu e ulu ma laila. He ʻeleʻele a keʻokeʻo ko ka crane ma ka ʻāʻī, he kino hina, he lōʻihi nā wāwae, a he hulu manu ma hope.
Piʻi ka crane a hiki i 120 kenimika ke kiʻekiʻe a hiki ke kaumaha i ʻeono kilokani. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona kūikawā kona ʻēheu nui: mai kekahi ʻaoʻao a i kekahi ʻoi aku ma luna o ʻelua mau mika. He leo nui kona leo me he pu la.
Noho ʻo Cranes ma nā wahi pulu me ka pāpaʻu a me ka wai hāmama, e like me nā ʻāina marshlands a me nā bogs. Hoʻomaha kēia mau manu ma nā kula ākea a me nā kula. ʻImi lākou i kā lākou meaʻai ma laila, a he omnivores lākou: ʻAi lākou i nā holoholona liʻiliʻi e like me nā iniseti, nā enuhe, a me nā rana, akā ʻo nā mea kanu pū kekahi e like me ka ʻuala, ka pī, ka pī, nā hua, nā cereals, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
Hiki i nā cranes ke waiho i nā hua mai ka makahiki ʻelima a ʻeono paha, a hoʻokahi wale nō i ka makahiki. Hoʻokahi a ʻekolu mau hua maʻamau. Aneane hoʻokahi mahina ka manawa hānau. Haʻalele nā moa crane i ka pūnana ma hope o hoʻokahi lā. Akā, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke lele akā hele i waho o ka pūnana me ko lākou mau mākua. A laila kōkua nā mākua iā lākou e ʻimi i ka meaʻai.
