Description
This Australian bird is a Brolga (Grus Rubincunda), also known as an Australian Crane or Native Companion. It features grey plumage and red markings on its head. This bird took advantage of the bright sunlight to dry its wings.
The brolga is known for its elaborate courtship dance which begins with both male and female tossing grass in the air and catching it. The next step is to leap into the air with wings outstretched, followed by lots of stretching, bobbing & bowing to each other.
