My boyfriend just spotted a baby crane by a tree. It looks like it fell out. A dog was sniffing around so he took the baby crane to his place. I'm trying to find information about cranes, but I find nothing since they're not usually pets unless they're some rare breed. I would really appreciate any advice or input on how to care for the crane until it can fly. Also, how old are cranes when they fly?
In the wild they will eat small rodents, snakes, worms, grasshoppers, crickets and insects. Also give it some water. You can find some of these at the pet store. For it's health I would not feed it any human foods.
Depending on where you are from, and sometimes just what type of crane, it is ILLEGAL to keep this animal. Plus, if you have no idea what to do with it, then the absolute best thing for this poor bird is to find someone who does. In most states (if you're in the US, of course) you must have a rehabilitation license to keep and take care of any wild animal. Contact your state Fish and Wildlife Service or Wildlife Resource Agency to find any local rehab centers in your area. You may even be able to contact a local vet and they might be able to point you to the right place. Or you can check out this site, because it has quite a few listed and also has other sites you can go to to find a rehabber in your area. www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contact.htm Good Luck! :)
fish is their diet,so feeding will be fish don't put milk it is danger to them work at a zoo.trust me. a box is fine, so is the bath tub,the bath tub is best so you can put a small amount of water in it. that way it will get used to the water in the wild.Little human contact,and maby a walk outside each day so it will get the feel of being outside.
just put it in a large box with cotton wool in it. put milk in a shallow bowl and buy some parrot chick seed or you could find some worms. they also would eat wet bread. keep it warm and sheltered from a draft it should be fine but it will be your best friend if you hand rear it
