Kori Bustard
During the breeding season, males perform “balloon” displays to attract females.
Displays can occur throughout the day, but are usually most intense in the early morning and late afternoon/evening.
During the height of the male display, the esophagus inflates to as much as four times its normal size and resembles a balloon. This display may be seen up to one kilometer (.62 miles) away. With the neck expanded, the tail and wing feathers pointed downward, and the crest erected, the male emits a low-pitched booming noise as he snaps his bill open and shut.
Range:
The nominate subspecies A. k. kori occurs in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, southern Angola, South Africa and Mozambique (Johnsgard 1991), and prefers wooded grassland areas and dry savannas. In arid grassland areas it is found along dry watercourses where patches of trees offer shade during the heat of the day. In eastern Africa, A. k. struthiunculus occurs in Ethiopia, Uganda, Sudan, Kenya and Tanzania in areas of open grasslands including karoo, bushveld, thornveld, scrubland and savanna habitats (del Hoyo 1996). The miombo woodland of Central Africa separates the two populations.
