Cranes are outgoing, forming great flocks where their numbers are adequate. They are opportunistic feeders that alter their diet according to the period and their own nutrient necessities. They eat a variety of objects from
fittingly sized small rodents, fish, amphibians, and insects, to grain, berries, and plants. They also consume seeds, small mammals and reptiles, eggs of other birds, and invertebrates, such as worms, clams, insects, and crayfish.
Cranes do not have webbed feet, but they can swim, though adult birds generally steer clear of deeper water if not essential. Though a running crane looks discomfited, but they can without doubt outrun humans. Cranes may fly as fast as 52 m.p.h. during level, flapping flight, but have a preference to soar, particularly during migration. When soaring in thermals cranes will circle until they arrive at a preferred altitude, usually between 3,000 and 5,000 feet.
