[TheAnimallover81]

They are such pretty birds, even when they are small they are so cute!!

[omgitsaghiles]

You know you'r a boss when you can teach a bird how to fly.

[koRnkitty]

So touching...

[L3gendary101]

[usernameofthel]

[shomees]

[seekfear1]

[greatqueenesther]

How about a documentary about cranes? Worthy subject!

[brianchhangte]

wow...to go such a length to save a species..Bravo..deserves a Nobel Prize dont you think ?

[BeTheGr8]

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*

[Staff777]

@BeTheGr8 i started crying, its like a monty python meets Brasseye

[MegaSunflower56]

AMAZING GRACE!

[kyatkraker]

[frickinradical]

[ht76845]

Very god thankyou best video I have seen yet so thanks.

[ht76845]

Are those ecologists training and looking after the cranes?

[ChocolatesABC]

as amazing as this is, those men...or women look ridiculous in those getup.  I couldnt' help but laugh. Is this clip from 'the life of birds'?

[Dotatoastr]

Si bueno

[greenket]

US breeds the birds and the birds migrate to Mexico then the Mexicans hunt these birds.

[bluemoon4u2]

[clndynasty]

hermosisimoooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[supervicky77]

Bellissimi....è bello vedere una tale sintonia tra uomini e animali.

[ik0edui]

i didnt know the kkk trained birds?

[keaton4u]

Ha no they aren't the KKK its necessary to be dressed like that so they don't get used to human contact which could eventually lead them to get poached. I think its engenious!

[ik0edui]

I looked it up in the book of klu klukz, and it says they train birds!

[keaton4u]

haha sweet so the racists are saving an endangered species!!! Thats a step in the right direction right?

[ik0edui]

apparently so. I still hate the racist bastards...

[alienkabalien]

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!

[ArtNatureMusic]

beautiful video. Thank you for posting. 5*

[busafwine]

thats just beautiful!

[daisyfrumblefoot]

i love david attenborough!!

[onefoofighter]

Wow such dedication. These people are awesome.

[drummerguy312]

ha ha i love the british accent

[zfk110]

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

[1992Iraneory]

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing.

[straightJO]

100% applause to the dude in plane for the efforts..

[lamboclutch]

only some americans are doppy.duhh.good vid david

[EagleWarri0r]

What a beautiful bird...

[netherchild99]

wow, this is something that is really touching. i hope those whooping cranes will grow in numbers soon

[oOzephyrOo]

finally some people do something to SAVE animals and not destroy them or the place they live....

[MadamTango]

unbelievable and incredible; simply, wow.

[ScrewBadVideos]

cool

[damcorp]

wow this was just like a movie i saw

[YubiShines]

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.

[SamSoonster]

That was quite lovely!

[blueshiftX]

what a pain in the ass. feeding them with puppets. fly, dumbass! darwin would have a fit.

[ManakinBird]

blueshiftX I wish you simply didnt exist on planet earth, did somebody ask you to do anything? NO youre just a useless, indoctrinated, uninspired lazy AMERICAN moron on youtube, go fuck yourself.

[AncientReptile]

lolumad?

[DivingAlbatross]

lolumad???

[ManakinBird]

BlueshiftX dont bring Darwin into our current culture, humans today have stopped evolving more or less. You are telling me you would go around slaughtering the handicapped, take off peoples glasses so they cant see, blow up clinics, kill the retarded, you FUCKING hypocrite are you telling me you dont take medicine? You are in the wrong time, you missed out on Nazi Germany a few decades ago. Sad cunt. You ARE uninspired, and need to get your ass beat for your ignorant unrealistic attitude.

[SuperArcticFox]

blu"shit"X you are ugly and vociferous, your video proves that you are a typical sad ignominious fatass American and your comments prove you to be a uneducated unrealistic racist fuck. Go surmise elsewhere 'toughguy'

[xiangyik]

If evolution led to you, I sorry to say Darwin would shit on his papers. Don't diss evolution by existing. Thx.

[shairaptor]

@blueshiftX you don't have friends. kill yourself, you do us all a favor. and these birds are clearly all more intelligent than you will ever be. shoot yourself and bleed to death.

[shairaptor]

@blueshiftX grow a brain baby face

[zanders37]

jeez we were able to save them when there were only 16 left thats one helluva save

[yoops]

what an adventure

[175myles]

i love how people rais them, but i wonder how they get them in the first place. ohwell pretty kool. i love bbc... not litteraly but still kool

[elvispresleyweeps]

yes, these stories are extraordinary, the reemergence of whooping cranes through these innovative techniques. lovely

[mrtenk]

absolutley phenominal. Attenborough is a genius and the directing quality is the best. Only on BBC do you find anything quite like this.
