Summary edit

Description
English: Brolgas not only forage along the floodplains of the Burke and other rivers, but boldly venture into the town of Boulia. Wild brolgas can be seen at close quarters foraging for grain at the Boulia Wildlife Haven. These are not tame or captive birds, and will not tolerate too close an approach. Rather, if approached too closely the will walk away in a stately manner, preserving a buffer of comfort between themselves and human observers. This adaptability and behavioural plasticity is typical of birds and other animals that adapt to anthropogenic environments. They do so not because they have been 'corrupted' by humans, but rather because the possess the innate ability to both exploit and co-exist with humans.
