About These Birds
Little Brown Bustard
El sisón del Cuerno de África es un pequeño sisón (42-48 cm) del Cuerno de África, desde Etiopía hasta Somalia. Tiene plumaje pardo arenoso con manchas. Habita en pastizales áridos y semiáridos. Como otros sisones, el macho realiza vistosas exhibiciones de cortejo. Se alimenta de insectos y materia vegetal. Especie poco conocida debido a la inaccesibilidad de gran parte de su rango en el Cuerno de África. Posiblemente amenazada por el pastoreo excesivo.
Lesser Florican
A small bustard (45-51 cm) found in grasslands of the Indian subcontinent. Males in breeding plumage have a black head and neck with an elongated nuchal crest. Critically Endangered due to severe grassland habitat loss. Males perform spectacular leaping display flights.
