Learn about the Red-crowned Cranes from the people at How Stuff Works.

You will learn about their unique courtship dance, about the red patch on their head (hint: it’s not feathers) and other really interesting stuff.

I need to visit Japan!

    The very first Crane Stand was crafted of powder-coated steel with the help of aeronautical engineer and designer Brandon Wilke. The mobile laptop stand was first released at Decibel Festival (An International Electronic Music Festival) in 2008 in Seattle and received an overwhelmingly positive response from the music community. Soon thereafter, hands were shook securing a deal with a large-scale distributor, and it wasn’t long until the Crane Stand was in full scale production.

    From here, gently bend at the waist while reaching out in front of you until your body is in a ninety-degree angle, arms reaching for the wall. Stretch your right leg out behind you. Hold this position for a count of five and then gently return to an upright position, switching legs.
