Crowned crane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A crowned crane is a bird of the genus Balearica:

Some authorities use the term "crowned crane" to refer generally to the genus Balearica.[1] Likewise, the International Ornithological Committee, who standardize common species names, have also used the group name "crowned crane" in the common names of the extant species of the genus Balearica.[2]
