Cranes are very difficult to design. Their long necks are inherently unstable and this, coupled with their long legs and beaks can make for some spectacular (although hilarious) disasters.

I suggest you first start off with designing a flightless bird - probably an Inacessable Island Rail or a Takahe. Then work your way through duck, hawk then crane.

Depends on what you what to design.

Google "International Crane Association" in Baraboo Wisconsin, or "Crane Manufacturers Association" Manual #70.
