BBC news:
"The massive bird, which weighs between 15kg and 18kg, is one of the biggest flying birds in India."

"Over the years, habitat loss, poaching and collisions with overhead power lines have effected great Indian bustards. Their numbers have fallen from more than 1,000 in the 1960s to around 150 at present."
