This

the masked lapwing is a large bird found in australia, new zealand, and new guinea. they are commonly found by the edges of wetlands and open fields, where they primarily feed on worms. although fairly docile and reclusive through much of the year, they are known for their extreme defensiveness during the breeding season. when fighting or scaring off potential predators, they use the bright yellow spurs on their wings. although they are sometimes referred to as ‘masked plovers’, they aren’t a member of the plover subfamily.
