The family Alaudidae, commonly known as larks, consists of small to medium-sized birds found primarily in open grasslands and fields. They are known for their melodious songs, which are often delivered in flight. Larks have a distinctive appearance, characterized by a slender body, long wings, and a short tail. Larks are primarily insectivorous, feeding on insects and seeds. They are distributed across various regions, with many species residing in Eurasia and Africa. Some well-known species include the Skylark and the Horned Lark, both of which are recognized for their beautiful songs and unique behaviors.
