Baby Whooping Crane

A 5-day old whooper. He can already catch crickets (though sometimes they get away!), and he's learned to eat crumbles from a bowl. His "mother" and "father" are a stuffed model and a puppet head in his pen, but he has a live whooper adult as a neighbor next door. Watching that adult will help him learn how to be a whooper himself. Everything the chick is exposed to—the stuffed model, the puppet, and the live adult—helps in proper imprinting.
