It is best not to feed wild animals human food, Cranes live in wetlands and sedge meadows. Wheat, oats, and corn do not grow in wetlands so the cranes are not accustomed to eating those grains. If you would like to help sandhill cranes work with your local chapter of Wild Ones or your Forest Preserve District to help maintain or create habitat for cranes.
