Living habits

It is a social bird, usually gathering 20 or even hundreds, and there have been records of gathering 25,000 birds; If disturbed, the whole group will fly, suddenly fly in circles in the air without direction, and then land in a tree near a safe distance; They are quite gregarious birds. Usually, every bird has its own position in the group, and there is no class distinction. Occasionally there will be quarrels.

At dawn, they will go to the water source to drink water first, and then go to feed. When the weather is hot at noon, they will rest in the dense shade. When the weather turns cold in the afternoon, they will continue to feed. At dusk, the whole group will start to return to their nests to rest for the night. I like foraging on the ground during the day, because the feather color of my body blends in with the surrounding environment, so it is quite difficult to be detected.

They are very friendly and not afraid of people, so they can observe at close range; Most of them are tanks, ponds, rivers and puddles on the ground where cattle and sheep drink water. Usually, the whole group will drink water together quickly to avoid being preyed by predators. They usually have no fixed feeding route, but search around in a nomadic way.
