Less than one year old. The Stanley Crane is native to Africa and is also South Africa's national bird. With a life expectancy upwards of 50 years there will be plenty of time to enjoy the memorizing dance show this crane exhibits. Mates run in circles, abruptly stop and sing a beautiful melody in unison. The entertaining pair finish when they collect bunches of grass and fling them into the air. Feasting on invertebrates, locusts being their favorite, give them the energy they need to live. A typical female will lay two eggs beginning around 2-3 years of age.
