Crowned cranes are found in grassy wetlands. They thrive in that environment because they use the tall grass as protection and as a feeding source. This graceful bird often engages in a type of dancing. The dancing behavior includes head pumping, bowing, and wing flapping. While the dancing is usually affiliated with courtship, it is also done for other reasons.

Crowned cranes are often studied in science lessons along with other wetland birds. The lessons include science vocabulary that relate to crowned cranes. Along with the vocabulary, teachers enjoy including games and puzzles in their lessons. Practicing with games about crowned cranes is helpful to students by reinforcing the material. Another great benefit to these games is the increase in spelling, reading, and retention skills.
