The crane bird, also known as the Numidian Crane bird, is a magnificent creature that captivates with its grace and beauty. One of its most enchanting displays is seen in the Red-crowned Crane, Japanese Crane or Manchurian Crane -Grus Japonensis-, performing an intricate mating dance in Kushiro-Shitsugen-Nationalpark, located in Kushiro, Hokkaido, Japan. In Brandenburg, Germany, Common Cranes -Grus grus- take flight against a picturesque backdrop. The sight of these majestic birds soaring through the sky is truly awe-inspiring. Artists throughout history have been inspired by the elegance of cranes. In a vibrant colour woodcut from 1925-26, two cranes are depicted with meticulous detail. Similarly, an oil on canvas painting titled "Cranes" created in 1870 showcases their grandeur and tranquility. Crane symbolism can be found across various cultures and religions. In "Sept Divinites du Bonheur - Seven Lucky Gods" by Kitao Shigemasa (1739-1820), one of Japan's most celebrated artists, a crane represents good fortune and happiness. Even biblical references include cranes; Raphael's masterpiece "Miraculous fishing, " published in 1878 depicts this scene from Luke 5:1-11 where a crane flies over a street sign measuring floodwaters' height. Nature enthusiasts are often treated to breathtaking sights such as migrating cranes flying gracefully across the moonlit sky near Berlin's Linum region or witnessing helpers laying paper cranes during origami sessions called Senbazuru for charitable causes. Furthermore, at Hula Lake Ornithology Reserve migratory stopover site for thousands of birds including cranes stands witness to their incredible journey while others continue their flight overhead. The crane bird symbolizes resilience and harmony amidst changing landscapes worldwide.
