We Are the Eurasian Cranes If You Please

Our wing span is six to eight feet
Our V-formation cannot be beat
We fly from the Ukraine to Germany
Winters are spent in North Africa you see

Our wings flap all the way across the sea
Our long legs rest as we travel in our vee.
We soar on thermal currents when over land
High altitudes help us glide in our little band.

We are the Eurasian Cranes, pleased to meet you.
Our hairy crest announces our type quickly too.
We can fly as high as thirty-three thousand feet.
Our socialization skills are to be envied, they are sweet.

If you want to see us, come to the Ukraine.
You can hike, walk, or take the holiday train.
When you see a large pterodactyl-like bird up in the sky.
With a huge wingspan, it is probably us, gliding by.

Wow, thanks. I never heard of Eurasian cranes, but they sound fascinating. I'd love to see one. No trip to Ukraine anytime soon, though.

Africa has them too if you go at the right time of year
