Demoiselle Crane - MondoVerde (Landgraaf/NL)

Demoiselle Crane.

A Demoiselle Crane in the open-air aviary. Visitors do walk on paths, but the birds can be found everywhere because they do not stay in their own cage

 

The demoiselle crane is slightly smaller than the common crane but has similar plumage. It has a long white neck stripe and the black on the foreneck extends down over the chest in a plume. It has a loud trumpeting call, higher-pitched than the common crane. Like other cranes it has a dancing display, more balletic than the common crane, with less leaping. The demoiselle was so named by Queen Marie Antoinette, for its delicate and maiden-like appearance..
