Although they are not frequent flyers, male buff crested bustards will put on elaborate aerial displays, sometimes up to 100 feet in the air, to impress females for mating.
Helping the Buff-crested Bustard in the Wild
The buff crested bustard at the Zoo is enrolled in the Species Survival Plan (SSP). SSP is a program implemented by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) to help ensure a genetically viable population exists.
