Little Red-crowned Crane had entered its rebellious phase.
It seemed to want to peck at everything it saw.
Xu Yang consulted with the staff at the Red-crowned Crane Protection Center and learned about the crane's temperament.
Little Red-crowned Cranes liked to spar, an essential process that helped strengthen their bodies and mouth muscles.
Especially two cranes of similar age would start sizing up each other upon meeting.
Of course, they wouldn't hurt or kill each other; they just fought.
As they grew older, the Red-crowned Cranes eventually became aloof.
Xu Yang found their habits quite interesting.
The staff at the Protection Center suggested,
"If you have only one Red-crowned Crane, it might hinder its development."
"After all, it needs to learn group behaviors and spar with its peers to grow."
"So, I suggest you bring your crane to the Protection Center so we can nurture it properly."
"That will allow it to grow better."
