The Sarus Crane (Grus antigone) is one of the tallest flying birds in the world, characterized by its long legs, neck, and striking red head. It has predominantly gray plumage with white secondary feathers and a distinctive red patch on its head. Sarus Cranes have a loud, trumpeting call that carries over long distances. They are known for their graceful and stately appearance.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

In Pakistan, Sarus Cranes are primarily found in the northwestern regions, including Punjab and Sindh provinces. They inhabit a variety of wetland and grassland habitats, including marshes, lakes, rivers, and agricultural fields. Sarus Cranes are also occasionally spotted in urban and suburban areas, especially during the winter months.

Sarus Cranes are highly sociable birds, often seen in pairs or small family groups. They are monogamous and maintain long-term pair bonds. Sarus Cranes are diurnal birds, spending much of their time foraging for food in wetland habitats. They feed on a variety of plant matter, including grasses, grains, and aquatic vegetation, as well as small invertebrates.
