You
will surprise to know feeding is the most interesting activities and main
motive of their migrating from one extreme to another. The most favorite
diet of crane is the roots and the starchy swellings found on the roots of
certain plants called tubers. They also eat seeds, small mammals and
reptiles, eggs of other birds, and invertebrates, such as worms, clams,
insects, and crayfish. Originally, crane breed in Russia in Yakutia and
western Siberia and they are considered a long distance migrant. The eastern
population migrates in winter to the Yangtze River in China, the central
population to Northern and Central India and the western population in
Fereidoonkenar and Esfahan in Iran.  |
