You can compare large to medium-sized birds, mainly cranes, in cages connected horizontally. Cranes are very territorial birds, so they are kept in pairs or individually in each section. As the saying goes, "A crane's voice is the sound of a bird's voice," and during the breeding season their calls to advertise themselves can be heard far and wide. Many species are at risk of extinction due to the development of the marshlands that are their habitat.
