The Lesser Florican (Sypheotides indicus) is a characteristic bird of Indian grasslands. The most characteristic feature of the bird is the mating strategy. That during the breeding season, males are seen folding their legs and leaping upwards, reaching a height of about 2 to 3 metres. They flutter rapidly, even up to 600 times a day, while emitting a croak-like sound. This sound is produced by the rotation of feathers around the carpal joint as they beat their wings, and is loud enough to be heard from a distance of 300 to 400 metres. This behaviour serves purposes like announcing territory, repelling rival males, and attracting the female. #longervideos #LesserFlorican #birdlife #birdnature #birdWatching #wildbird #wildbirdworld #wildbirdsvideo #birdvideos #birdvideography #birdschannel #birddaily #birdoftiktok #Bird #Birdslove #longervideosontiktok
