bustard

/ˈbʌstəd

noun

A large, heavily built, swift-running bird, found in open country in the Old World. The males of most bustards have a spectacular courtship display.

Family Otididae: several genera and species, including the great bustard (Otis tarda), which is the heaviest flying land bird.

Apart from the globally-extinct great auk, the bustard is the only bird known to have bred in Britain that hasn't done so in recent times....

Certain large-bodied flying birds, such as bustards, pelicans, and vultures, pneumatize virtually the entire skeleton, out to the tips of the wings.
This kind of hunting, in which the falcons are trained to attack much larger birds, is one reason bustards are threatened throughout much of their range.

Origin

Late 15th century: perhaps an Anglo-Norman French blend of Old French bistarde and oustarde, both from Latin avis tarda 'slow bird': the name is unexplained, as the bustards are fast runners.
