Cranes are a family of wading birds found worldwide. Large and elegant, they have a wingspan that can measure up to seven feet when flying, with their long neck stretched out in front and stilt-like legs trailing behind. Cranes are known to mate for life. The symbolism of cranes takes on different meanings across countries and cultures, ranging from immortality, wisdom, and prosperity to independence and true love.
