Sandhill Cranes eat shelled corn, which is just kernels. Preferably fresh corn. Also, they'll eat commercially purchased bird feed.
Additional Info: The Sandhill Crane eats a wide variety of different animal prey and plants. They are omnivorous, and their diet will shift depending on the season and if they are migrating or nesting. When they are not nesting, the Sandhill Crane tends to feed in large flocks, often visiting planted or cultivated fields. They feed in shallow water, sometimes probing with their bills, or walking through short growth and fields. Their diet includes insects, both aquatic plants and animals, seeds, grains, berries, tubers, fruit, nuts, small mammals, lizards, snakes, frogs, rodents, and even small birds.
