@aerofyre1 Thank you for letting us know. We mourn the loss of such a wonderful bird and we'll leave the video active as a reminder of its elegant beauty.

I'm sorry to say that the male Blue Crane passed away a few weeks ago. He had a tumor in his chest. The female's been staying inside a lot, seems to be mourning, but seems healthy otherwise. He was 16 yrs old. (I believe the males are banded on their right leg)
