Sarus Cranes Performing an Amazing Courtship Dance

Sarus Cranes are amongst the most amazing birds I have photographed. They are the world's largest flying birds. They are known for being faithful pairs. Sarus Cranes care for their offspring with great dedication and affection. And of course, they perform some of the most intricate dance steps. Their show of affection for each other is reflected in their dance steps. I was lucky enough to photograph one pair of Sarus Cranes performing an amazing dance right in front of me at the Sultanpur National Park today. I was absolutely spellbound and watched these amazing birds profess their love for one another with bated breath!









This was, indeed an amazing display of affection and love expressed in dance as an art form. I am sure that there is so much that we human beings can learn from these cranes. Unfortunately, these birds are running out of space even as they compete with human beings for space. Human developmental activities in the area are driving Sarus Cranes towards extinction. Preserving these birds and their habitats should be of utmost importance, that is if we are not planning to trap them in cages inside Zoos. Nothing can beat the experience of observing Sarus Cranes in the wild!
