In mating season, male birds build a communal area called a leƙ to display their skills and attract females. After a successful mating, the male’s responsibilities come to an end, and it is the female’s turn to assume the nurturing role. The female creates a nest under a rocky ledge using mud to secure it to the surface. In the nest, she lays one or two white eggs and incubates them for about 28 days before raising the young independently.
ICUN has established criteria for the Range Size of certain species to determine if they are vulnerable. However, the particular species in question has such a wide range that its population does not meet these criteria and is therefore not considered vulnerable. this information was provided along with a photo credit to aIse GaERtNER under CC by-ѕa 4.0.
