See the Rarest Birds in the World Thank you for your interest in visiting the International Crane Foundation (ICF), the only place in the world where you can see all 15 crane species. ICF has gained international acclaim as one of the world's leaders in the conservation of endangered species. While visiting ICF, you will learn about the techniques used to preserve some of the rarest birds in the world. For generations, cranes have captivated the people who live near them. They have become important figures in the legends and mythology of aboriginal peoples around the world. During your visit, you may see the Wattled Cranes gracefully dancing in their grassland enclosure, or hear the haunting calls of the Red-crowned Cranes. You will also see the Sarus crane, the tallest flying bird in the world. At the Amoco Whooping Crane Exhibit, you can observe one of the world's rarest birds, the Whooping crane, in a wetland exhibit. You may also want to explore our nature trails through oak savanna, wetlands and tall grass prairie and learn about ecosystem restoration and preservation. We invite you to learn more about the wonder of cranes, threats to their survival, and ICF's efforts to protect them.
