These birds are always easy to meet in the wild. You just need to know about their habitats. And they always live in open spaces, such as meadows, fields, and forest edges.
And as soon as you come to such places, you will definitely see these birds.

Everything is pretty simple. These birds like to sit on the tops of tall grasses and thickets and watch the territory. This is especially noticeable in the middle of summer. By this time, the birds have children, and then both the male and the female follow everything that happens around.

In the spring, only the male does this. The female at this time gathers material around the area to build a nest.
