@mybirdcards when I learned it as a child, it was called the African Crowned Crane. It may have changed since then.

@edboythinks ⭐ Yes, there are two (the Black being the other) so these days it's most commonly referred to as the Grey Crowned Crane 👍

@mybirdcards At last a bird I recognise. But now I'm not sure if it's a crowned crane or a crested crane. I /think/ it's a crowned crane.

crowned crane? (psssst: I still don't know what species the cute blue bird was. Can you tell me, please?)

@julesy47 👍 It was the somewhat poorly-named Red-flanked Bluetail (Tarsiger cyanurus) 😍
