Grand-looking bird with a common name...

COMMON CRANE
(Grus grus)
A Common Crane is seen with a chick at WWT Slimbridge, in Gloucester, UK.   I guess I've never understood why large, long-legged birds like cranes, or herons, or ostriches, etc.,  etc., seem so very much larger and taller than their chicks, compared to most smaller birds and their chicks.   Or am I mistaken thinking there is a different proportional scale for large and small birds with their young? 
Please comment if you wish.
