Oh wow. This is a real dreamlike quality to it -- first it's cute with hand (...beak) feeding tiny chicks, and then it leads up to literally flying with the older cranes. Fabulous.
Kent Clegg likes watching birds, and he likes flying ultralight planes. He finds ways to do both, to the birds' profit. In 1997 Clegg got whooping cranes to follow him in his ultralight from Idaho to New Mexico to try to restart a breeding population of the rare birds in the southwest. Now he has a new passion: trumpeter swans
That's very clever! Kudos to all these dedicated and hard working people for helping these cranes back into the wild. I hope that other people can use these techniques to help other animals back into the wild!
I happen to live in Wisconsin, about 10 miles southwest of where several pairs of whooping cranes live during the summer months. They are very beautiful birds.
Respect for those people but.....learning the birds how to fly at 2:04 is REALLY RIDICULOUS!!! XD.. Try watching those few seconds from 2:04 till 2:08 over and over.. ROFL!! Aaah.. *Sniff*
these guys are amazing..... so much dedication.. they even pretend to FLY ..

It’s 2022, how are you?
thank you for the people who care about the animals
absolutley phenominal. Attenborough is a genius and the directing quality is the best. Only on BBC do you find anything quite like this.

@BeTheGr8 i started crying, its like a monty python meets Brasseye
Cranes are unbelievably majestic.
wow, this is something that is really touching. i hope those whooping cranes will grow in numbers soon
Bellissimi....è bello vedere una tale sintonia tra uomini e animali.
They are such pretty birds, even when they are small they are so cute!!
