The Brolga, Grus rubicunda, is a majestic Australian bird well known for its wonderful mating dance

It is found across the tropical north, southwards through north-east and east central areas, as well as central New South Wales to western Victoria

These tall birds are up to 130cm in height with a wingspan of up to 240cm. The female is shorter than the male. Brolgas have a featherless red head and a grey crown.

An Aboriginal legend tells of a beautiful young woman who always danced instead of working. She was turned into a tall, slender bird. Her name was Bralgah.

A brolga is an Australian crane, also known as "Native Companions"
