Biology:Crowned crane
From HandWiki
A crowned crane is a bird of the genus Balearica:
- Black crowned crane (Balearica pavonina)
- Grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum)
Some authorities use the term "crowned crane" to refer generally to the genus Balearica.[1] Likewise, the International Ornithological Committee, who standardize common species names, have also used the group name "crowned crane" in the common names of the extant species of the genus Balearica.[2]
