Crown Crane moves into new digs

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, we're happy to announce that our East African Crown Crane has moved into new digs!

The crane, which came to Noah's Landing over the winter, quickly outgrew his indoor home. Building an outdoor habitat was not without its challenges. The enclosure had to be completely enclosed in mosquito-proof screen and provide ample room for flying and movement.

The new cage is 20' x 40' and includes a large hut that can be heated in the winter and bushes and trees for landscaping. It's a beautiful addition to the farm and we hope it will anchor a new section of African habitats with spaces for our porcupines and African servals.
