Character profile:

Red Blue was the first egg of the first batch back to hatch...and was fighting its way out of the egg during the journey! Red Blue is currently one of the biggest of the birds and is the sibling of Red Yellow. June Update: Red Blue is the most dominant of all the cranes, and is quite chilled out until another crane wants to fight with it. Whte Blue tried it on recently.....and lost.August: Red Blue has started to bond with his sibling Red Yellow and also with Albert (White Blue). These three can be seen hanging about together quite a lot and we think they may explore together once they are fully released. OCT UPDATE: Red Blue is very much part of the large stable flock of last years and this year's birds that has slowly and sometimes paintfully developed over the month or so since release.
