It feeds mainly on a variety of small fish, but also eats animal foods such as shrimp, crabs, tadpoles, and aquatic insects. Usually walking along rivers, salt pans, or paddy fields, it pecks while walking, and its long beak, neck, and legs are very convenient for preying on aquatic animals. When hunting, it gently wades and walks forward, its eyes constantly looking at the small animals moving in the water, and then suddenly pecks into the water with its long beak to accurately peck the food into its mouth.

Sometimes, they often stand at the water's edge, waiting for an opportunity to prey on passing fish.

The back, shoulders, and lower part of the front neck are covered with long, leafy ornamental feathers that are scattered with scattered branches, so they are called "demoiselles" that extend backwards beyond the ends of the tail feathers, and the demoiselles at the base of the foreneck hang down to the lower thorax like silk threads. On the chest, waist and thighs, there is also a special feather that grows as powder, and the tip is constantly broken into powder, just like talcum powder, which can remove the fish mucus and other dirt that adheres to the body feathers, and plays a role in cleaning the feathers.

In winter, the beak turns dark brown, the base of the lower beak is yellow, the eyes are yellow-green, the feet are yellow-green, and the back, shoulders, and front neck are all gone.
