Yes, the adults are gentle and quite careful. They zero in on each kernel of corn with precision, the young colts aren't quite as accurate, however; they are gentle as well.
If we have friends over when the cranes saunter in looking for a snack and they would like to see them being fed, I will usually feed them by hand myself. If the friends are first timers at hand feeding and would like to give it a try, they will usually do so with some apprehension, but that apprehension goes away after the first couple of kernels are snatched up by the cranes.
