An announcement and a showdown....

Status crane pair captured in unison calling and display at Keoladeo national parks, Bharatpur, India.

 

Sarus cranes have loud, trumpeting calls. These calls are, as in other cranes, produced by the elongated that form coils within the sternal region. Pairs may indulge in spectacular displays of calling in unison and posturing.

 

These displays and calls may be for the purpose of breeding or for territory announcements.
