Character profile:

Blue Red came from a really fat egg and is sibling-less. It has turned into quite a dominant, big chunky bird but is not aggressive at all - even though it would probably win any confrontation. August: Blue red has suffered from a bit of a limp this month as he got into a little brawl with another bird as she was quite aggressive. She is now improving and is now not so aggressive. Due to her having a sore leg she often stays by herself as she didnt want to walk much, but has started integrating with the group again. OCT update: Blue Red White is now a well integrated member of the flock of 1st year and juvenille cranes that are regulalry being seen out and about foraging on craneflies and on stubbles and at supplementary feeding points.
