What is Brolga?
Brolga is an Australian bird found primarily in the northern and eastern parts of the country. These birds are a member of the crane family and have a classic top building of other species in this group. Brolgas is about 45 inches tall (115 cm), with gray feathers and a red spot on their heads. Their wing is approximately 6 feet (2 meters).
These birds usually prefer to live in the swamps, but sometimes live on irrigated agricultural land and in other places where they can find fresh water, including streams and rivers. Brolgas are social birds and collect up to 1,000 individuals in very large groups. In larger flocks, there are smaller family groups headed by male leaders. They generally migrate in wide areas when seasonal changes create a lack of food.
The Brolga population is relatively healthy in most parts of its extent, but there are areas where the number is reduced, mainly because of different environmental pressures. Some of the wetlands that make up important parts of their habitat, bYly released for agriculture, which made things difficult for Brolga. Ecologists think that this situation will deteriorate in the future, and Brolgas can eventually endanger all throughout Australia if something is not done to protect them.
As far as food is concerned, Brolgas are municipalities and eat all -powerful food. They consume a mixture of vegetation such as grass and roots, along with small animals such as lizards and various insects.

One of the most famous things on Brolga is her pairing ritual. Man and woman meet and perform complicated dance along with wings. They shake their heads and jumps into a very formal kind of procedure that actually looks like a dance. Although this is happening, there are also many vocalization.
Like many other birds, Brolgas is generally combined throughout life. In a typical period of reproduction there will be birdsproduce a clutch of two eggs. The Bolga man and the Bolga female share the incubation duties and the eggs hatch after approximately 28 days. Their nests are designed from different grasses and other vegetation, which is collected to form a platform in the middle of the water. Once the infant birds hatch, both parents help in their feeding and protection.
