Dancing Brolgas

Famed for their elaborate courtship dance, performed year-round, brolgas are an iconic Australian bird.

Also known as burralga in the Gamilaraay Aboriginal language, these birds stand 1m tall with a wing span up to 2.4m. Since brolgas (Grus rubicunda) are dependent on wetlands, one of their main threats is habitat loss due to wetland drainage for agriculture and development.
