Editor's Note: I'm not sure what these birds are. Can anyone identify these lovely creatures?

Southern African Crowned Crane -- very endangered.
I hope this Zoo has a breeding program, or else they are contributing to the demise of this lovely species.
Having experience on the California Condor project, I know how difficult it can be to determine sex in some birds.
Lovely bird.
Go to the 3rd picture down the page; I believe they are the same kind of birds:

It is a Grey Crested Crane from dry savannah in Africa and south of the Sahara. More info from Wikipedia.com
