Northern Black Korhaan, Namibia

The Northern Black Korhaan is one of the finest examples of the amazing bird show in Namibia. Also known as, the white-quilled bustard, the Northern Black Korhaan prefers scrub and open grassland. Although it is a bird that prefers to mostly remain on the ground but when disturbed, it could take a flight. These birds tend to make quick movements and if an intruder is observed, the Northern Black Korhaan emits a loud sound while running away and extending both the neck and head.Furthermore, it feeds on beetles, grasshoppers, ants, and termites. While the male is a usual sight, the females on the other hand are seldom seen.
