text:  Given their strong legs, they're mostly cursorial, meaning they spend much of their time on the ground. But at the sign of danger, they use their short, rounded wings, along with strong breast muscles, for fast but short bursts of flight. Their calls are given only by males and can be heard throughout the year. They usually climb up to the highest nearby perch, like a fence post or a tree branch, stretch their neck up, throw their head backwards, and let out a series of four or five loud, scratchy, metallic syllables.
