Brolgas are famous for their elaborate dancing - they leap, bow, stretch their wings and call loudly, and the dances can involve dozens of birds performing together.
They're one of the tallest birds in Australia, standing up to 1.3 metres tall - about the height of an average 8-year-old child!
Brolgas mate for life and pairs perform their beautiful dances together to strengthen their bond, not just to attract a mate.
In Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, the brolga was once a beautiful young woman who loved to dance and was transformed into a bird by an evil spirit - hence why the bird dances so gracefully.
Brolgas make their nests as islands in shallow water - a pile of sticks, grass and reeds built up above the water level to keep eggs safe from predators.
