Indian Bushlark is commonly found in various habitats such as grasslands, scrublands, and agricultural areas across different regions of the country. Its distribution extends from the lowlands to mid-altitude regions, making it a widespread species within its range.
This species is known for its distinctive behavior of perching on elevated spots such as shrubs or fence posts, from where it delivers its melodious song. During courtship, males engage in elaborate aerial displays, soaring high into the air while singing to attract females. Outside the breeding season, Indian Bushlarks are often seen foraging on the ground for insects and seeds, displaying a typical lark-like behavior.
