	Brolga
		The Brolga is a large grey crane, with a featherless red head and grey crown.
		The Brolga's call is a loud trumpeting 'garooo' or 'kaweee-kreee-kurr-kurr-kurr-kurr-kurr-kurr', which is given in flight, at rest or during courtship.
		Brolgas are omnivorous (feeding on both vegetable and animal matter), but primarily feed upon tubers and some crops.

	brolga
		The Brolga is found mostly in the tropical north or in the east of Australia.
		The Brolga is a tall and slender bird, with very long legs which are mainly grey and a slender neck (grey) which is topped with a bare head and a red patch of skin behind the eye running around the back of the head.
		Because Brolgas often nest and live in brackish water they are the only crane species to have a gland in the corner of their eyes which helps to pass excessive salt.

	Brolga - ICF
		Northern populations of Brolgas are concentrated during the dry season in coastal freshwater wetlands, where they subsist on the tubers of the bulkuru sedge.
		Brolgas in northern Australia gather in large flocks and dig holes in the drying mud to extract bulkuru tubers, the main item in their dry season diet.
		In an effort to establish a captive population of breeding Brolgas, Dr. George Archibald received a permit in 1972 to capture three pairs of wild Brolgas in Australia and import them to the U.S. He traveled to the Gibson Desert in western Australia and captured four Brolgas.
