The Grey Crowned Crane is loved in the region. Tall and stately, it was once common in rural areas around homesteads and in fields, farms and swamps until mid last century (1950s).
Today, the Grey Crowned Crane, “only found in sub-Saharan Africa” is on the Coat of Arms and flag of Uganda, and part of the emblem of the Makerere University, Kisii University in Kenya, the University of Nairobi and County of Nairobi.
