The Malabar crested lark is a small bird with a high crest on its head. It lives in southern India, runs well on the ground, and sings beautiful songs.
The Malabar crested lark differs from related species by its very long and sharp crest on the head. It is beneficial to nature because it eats harmful insects and serves as prey for snakes and birds of prey.
