Larks can not depend upon their plumage for attraction, which is brown or mouse-gray. To make an impression, they rise to great heights while singing, where they stay suspended in the air, followed by a fall resembling a parachute dropping to the ground. Larks are small songbirds that eat insects and seeds.
