Native to Australia and New Zealand, the Masked Lapwing nests on the ground in open areas, laying 3-4 eggs. These large plovers thrive in grasslands, wetlands, and urban parks, feeding on insects and small invertebrates. Known for their striking black-and-white plumage and yellow facial wattles, they are often seen walking across open fields.
