An Endangered Whooping Crane, lovingly named “Ducky,” died earlier this month due to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). The loss marks the first confirmed death of a Whooping Crane due to HPAI.
How can we better understand renesting behavior and the potential it plays in maximizing the breeding season for this endangered species?
Over the past five years, our aviculture staff has been working to strategically increase the number of Sarus Cranes in our residential flock at our Global Headquarters, aiming to meet our specific collection goals for this species. We acquired an established pair, Yuva and Minu, to serve as our Sarus Crane ambassadors on exhibit at the Crane Discovery Center.
