Common breeding resident of the low country dry
zone. Local and uncommon in wet lowlands. It lives in pairs and inhabits open
country such as paddy fields, scrublands etc. Jerdon’s Bushlark has a remarkable courting behavior of parachuting
down with wings open and legs dangling after rising about 20-30 ft in the air.
It feeds on several ground insects like grasshoppers. Unlike the Oriental skylark, Jerdon's Bushlark often perches on bushes, fences, dead tree branches and such places and utters its song. Breeding season is from
March to July and it builds a well concealed nest in a small hollow at the base
of a tussock of grass and lays 2-3 eggs.
