During the non-breeding season, males of an area join and move, forage and roost together. Females also move in flocks or with their juveniles. Mixed flocks are rare and temporary. Female with a juvenile generally join a female flock but never a male flock. Mean flock size varies from season to season. The largest flocks are seen just before the breeding season and the smallest flocks during the breeding season. Number of pecks per five minutes were studied (1 271 observations). Although the bustards move in flocks, they do not help each other in locating food and perhaps also in locating danger, because there was no significant difference in the peck rates between a solitary and a non-solitary bird. There was some difference in the peck r...
