"Autobiography of a Great Indian Bustard"

        Hello friends, I am a Great Indian Bustard today I want to tell something about me and something about my life.  Which is the heaviest flying bird in India?Well, friends, it's me - The Great Indian Bustard. I feel proud to be known as the 'Great Indian' Bustard. I have more than 30 different names in various Indian Languages. In Marathi, I am known as 'Maldhok' or 'Hoom'.

       I can weigh up to 18 kilos and can stand up to four feet in height - reaching up to your shoulders or even higher! I have got a long white neck; brown wings, tall yellow legs and a black cap on my head. Mu wife - Mrs Bustard is smaller and slimmer than I am and her neck is not white. But I have heard humans say that we both look impressive!

        I live on grasslands and deserts along with my other friends including Chinkara, black buck and larks. I eat everything including snakes, lizards, small fruits and berries and all sorts of insects. That's a very  healthy habit! But grasshoppers and beetles are my favourite food items.

        When it starts raining, we all gather at out favourite grasslands where there are no people to disturb us. I perform a wonderful dance by gulping air in the special feathery pouch attached below my neck. This pouch helps me to produce a resonating sound similar to the one produced by the cow - 'Hoooooom'. I dance in joy with puffed out feathers and cocked up tail and dropped down wings. It helps me to impress my soul mate.

        You can write letters to your leaders and make an appeal to help us. You can make my drawing and submit it to your teacher. You can discuss this with your parents. Come to see us at a sanctuary, because now you will not see us in other places. And who knows, if humans don't help us none of us will be left on the earth. You will only see us in pictures.
