crane definition and meaning

What is a "crane"?

A crane is a large, long-legged, and long-necked bird that belongs to the Gruidae family. They are known for their gracefulness, with their long necks and slender bodies. They are found all over the world, except in Antarctica and some oceanic islands. Cranes are generally monogamous birds, with some species mating for life. They are known for their elaborate courtship displays, which involve dancing, calling, and bowing. Cranes are omnivores, feeding on plants, insects, and small animals. Some species of crane are migratory, traveling great distances each year between their breeding and wintering grounds.
