Sandhill Crane Couple Brings Two Tiny Babies To Visit!

Are there any unexpected perks at your place of work? For a woman named Nichole, one of them includes delightfully unexpected visitors: sandhill cranes! While they might not stop by every single day, they do show up often enough. And when they do, it’s always the same two birds — and they’re a couple.

In other words, Nichole has very much grown accustomed to these two visiting. But thanks to a recent life event, this adorable sandhill crane couple had quite a surprise in store for their human friends… they had two babies! I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a baby sandhill crane before (also called colts), but they are absolutely adorable. See for yourself in the video below!

“This is their official birth announcement,” someone points out in the comment section of Nichole’s video, with another person pondering, “Are they asking them to babysit?”

While sandhill cranes aren’t known for being particularly friendly or rude toward us humans, there are plenty of instances where wholesome bonds were made. For example, both humans and these large birds love to dance, as seen in this “dance battle.”

It seems that a similar bond has been formed between this sandhill crane couple and these workers. Who knows, perhaps their little ones will continue the tradition of visiting them, once they are old enough, of course. So, in about 10 months — that is usually when their chicks become independent.

Though, at that point, it may be time for all four of them to migrate. In which case they may need to find new human workers to befriend… at least for a season. Sandhill cranes are territorial and known for coming back to the same places. In other words, this is likely not the last visit Nichole and her co-workers will get!
