The bustard's an exquisite fowl, 
with minimal reason to growl.
He escapes what would be 
Illegitimacy
By grace of a fortunate vowel.

I'm not sure the Encyclopedia of Islam counts as a reliable source regarding the intellectual abilities of birds. I suggest the sentence about bustards being unusually stupid be stricken. 212.181.30.242 (talk) 10:15, 7 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

What is a "terrestrial bird" ?

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article states Bustards "are large terrestrial birds" - but what is a terrestrial bird ?
One that nests on the ground ? Or is flightless ? Or both ?
