Time for Separation

This is the time for the separation for Japanese cranes.

After a year being together, crane parents have to kick out a young one in order to prepare for the next birth.

Crane parents keep more and more distance from a child by ocasionally pecking and chasing him/her.

Soon a young baby learn to live on their own once his/her parents fly back to their nesting area.

Only a year together as a family... and they have to move on.
