Can you guess which is the heaviest flying bird in the world?

Some say the males of the great bustard are possibly the heaviest flying birds. The great bustard (Otis tarda ) is a bird in the bustard family, the only member of the genus Otis.

An adult male is 90 to 105 centimeters tall. The bird typically weights about 7 kilograms; however, a male bird can weigh up to 18 kilograms!

How nice if I could see it from the front!

These birds' habitant is grassland or steppe defined by open, flat or somewhat rolling landscapes. You can see them gathering in the cold days.

The great bustard has a stately slow walk but tends to run when disturbed rather than fly.

Great bustards typically live for around 10 years, but some have been known to live up to 15 years or more. The maximum known life span for the species was 28 years.

Male and female groups do not mix outside of the breeding season. The great bustard breeds in March, and a single male may mate with up to five females.

Their breeding takes place in open grasslands and farmlands of southern and central Europe and across temperate Asia. While the great bustards in Europe do not migrate from one region to another, their Asian counterparts move farther south in winter.

About 60 percent of its population is found in Portugal and Spain. These birds are omnivorous, Relishing different foods in different seasons.

These birds are considered vulnerable, as their population is rapidly decreasing. The bird became extinct in Great Britain. The last bird of the country was reportedly shot dead in 1832.

I have been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN red list since 1996.

We have to save animals and birds Especially the extinct birds like Great Bustard. Otherwise, our upcoming breed will not be able to see such beautiful birds.

Go the youtube and watch how it looks like in real. Here is the link :
