=============================================================
A bird from the family of crane,
With a grey coloured crown.
We will call it a grey crowned crane,
With a speciality itself in its name.
A bird with grey crown,
Not found in the Indian town.
It’s the national bird of Uganda,
Not less famous than Anaconda.
Displays its dance in the rains,
It is omnivores and eats insects and grains.
And makes a honking sound,
When it moves around.
