Ignite a fire this Valentine’s Day!

With their powerful calls and elaborate courtship dances, the elegant and graceful whooping crane has captivated people for centuries. These endangered birds – which once numbered only 16 - are making a slow and steady comeback. At one time hitting a low of 16 birds there are now close to 400 migratory and non-migratory birds in North America. 

Sponsor the Milwaukee County Zoo’s whooping crane pair, Torch and Tiki, for only $30 and help support all the animals at the Zoo. An animal sponsorship is a great gift for birthdays, anniversaries or even a special Valentine’s Day “treat!” This limited-time offer is available through March 31, 2012.
