Elegant and rare poster commissioned by Copenhagen Zoo to encourage visitors.
The poster displays the beautiful African Crowned Crane. The large bird is recognized for its distinctive golden, crown-like tuft of feathers on its head. It has a gray body, white wings, and a vibrant red throat pouch, making it one of the most colorful crane species. These cranes are known for their elaborate courtship dances, which involve bowing, jumping, and spreading their wings. As a symbol of elegance and longevity in various African cultures, the African Crowned Crane is also the national bird of Uganda.
