Homonym: cranes (Bird)
Cranes are essential pieces of construction equipment used to lift and move heavy materials with precision. They come in various types, including tower cranes, mobile cranes, and crawler cranes, each designed for specific tasks and environments. Their ability to reach great heights and extend their arms makes them invaluable on construction sites.
In addition to construction, cranes are also fascinating birds known for their graceful movements and elaborate mating dances. These birds, such as the whooping crane and sandhill crane, are often found in wetlands and are known for their striking appearance and unique calls. Both the machines and the birds share the name 'crane' due to their ability to lift and soar.
