🌍 Kori bustard (Ardeotis kori)

The kori bustard, Africa's heaviest flying bird, is cryptically coloured with brown and grey plumage, black and white markings, and a prominent black crest. Its distribution spans two main regions in Africa: eastern (Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania) and southern (Angola, Namibia, Botswana, South Africa). Primarily ground-dwelling, Kori bustards are wary and prefer running to flying. Males perform elaborate courtship displays, puffing up feathers and making booming calls. They are omnivorous, consuming insects, small vertebrates, and plant matter. Two subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Near Threatened (IUCN 3.1)
