13. Why on earth would anyone even think of hunting them? They're very trusting
and laid back birds, and they aren't plentiful! I had a pair that lived at my apartment complex years ago and they would sometimes follow me on my daily walks. "Challenging prey" my ass! Sandhill cranes are so tall that they are easy to spot wherever they are, and they won't move unless you run towards them while waving your arms and yelling!
