It occurs in dry savannah in Africa south of the Sahara, although it nests in somewhat wetter habitats. They can also be found in marshes, cultivated lands and grassy flatlands near rivers and lakes in Uganda  This animal does not migrate. There are two subspecies. The East African B. r. gibbericeps (crested crane) in  Uganda, of which it is the national bird represented in its national flag. It has a larger area of bare red facial skin above the white patch than the smaller nominate species, B. r. regulorum . This species and the closely related black-crowned crane are the only cranes that can roost in trees, because of a long hind toe that can grasp branches. This habit, amongst other things, is a reason why the relatively small Balearica cranes are believed to closely resemble the ancestral members of the Gruidae.
