Character profile:

Red Yellow is Red Blue's sibling and hatched shortly after Red Blue. Currently one of the biggest, and boldest of the cranes having hatched with its sibling a clear four days ahead of the rest! Quite well bonded with its sibling, Red Blue. August: Red Yellow is still the largest bird, and although some have caught him up and tried for the position as leader of the group, he is still upholding top crane status! He likes to know everything that is going on with other birds and always follows us about if we are doing something unusual nearby. He is is forming a bond with his sibling Red Blue and also with Albert (White Blue). October update: Red Yellow has turned into a very fine looking crane and is part of the large and fairly stable flock of cranes that has been foraging away on the Levels and Moors through the autumn.
