Koohii stories:

1) [mspertus] 2-3-2007(202): The original version of the "Ugly Duckling" was about a crane who grew up in a turkey coop. All the other birds made fun of it for not having a wattle or a snood or fanning its tail…

2) [mantixen] 6-10-2008(72): I ordered a crane to move my turkey coop, but they sent me this damn bird instead.

3) [zazen666] 13-2-2008(47): Do you know how cranes came to be? Well, they used to keep the poor bird cooped all the time. But the crane really wanted to be free, so it would always streatch its head and neck out of the coop trying to be free.

4) [fuaburisu] 5-1-2006(22): The crane was the only bird allowed to sleep in the coop (the turkey house). See, the old turkeys deemed the chicken and most of the other birds inferior… but they wouldn't mess with a majestic crane.

5) [aircawn] 15-2-2007(18): During the construction of the Turkey house, there was a mistake and instead of ordering a metal crane, they got a bird crane! Nonetheless, it was happy to help wherever it could.
