This pair of sandhill cranes is captured in a unique pewter sculpture, preening their feathers. Cranes use their bill to support health and structure of the feathers (e.g. position feathers, interlock feather barbules, clean feathers, and help keep parasites in check). Cranes will paint their feathers with mud or soil as part of their preening. This sculpture is 2 inches tall and 2 inches wide, capturing the charismatic grooming behavior of a pair of cranes.
This sculpture was created by artist Gary Ginther, an award winning artist from Cambridge, NE.
