Abstract

The article discusses Italian zoologist Franco Andrea Bonelli and his 1802 record of a sighting of a demoiselle crane (Grus virgo) near Cavallermaggiore in Piedmont, Italy. It discusses recorded migratory habits of the crane from nineteenth-century sources, as well as the practice of keeping captive cranes in Europe. The veracity of Bonelli's entry is explored.
