Red-crested Korhaan

She is usually seen alone or in pairs in bushes. At other times, they can be encountered in very large groups.

The mating display is very spectacular. Male displays begin with singing and then they take off in a steep vertical flight of about twenty meters. At the top of their climb, they roll their body backwards, legs up, and then fall with their wings spread out. Very rarely, it has been observed that, in the state of excitement, the male misses his landing. The aerial display is usually directed at a female, but it seems they also use this demonstration to mark their territory and to ward off other suitors. When a female is contacted, the feathers on the crown stand up to form a crest. The feathers of the throat and neck swell. Once copulation is accomplished, the male takes off and starts another display, looking for another female.

The Red-crested Korhaan doesn't have uropygial glands, which forces it to take dust baths to clean itself. The Red-crested Korhaan is one of the few birds that drinks by sucking, unlike most birds which take gulps.

Although movements are correlated with precipitation and food availability, this bird can't be categorized as a true migratory bird.
