Bustards
Bustards weigh approximately 14 kg and are the heaviest flying birds in Australia and possibly the world. These huge birds stand 120 cm tall, with a wingspan of around 2 m.
Because of their great weight, bustards much prefer to walk, though it is a spectacular sight when they do fly.
They have a pale grey neck and belly, and freckled brown wings and tail. Male bustards have a black crown, while the females have a brown crown.
