About These Birds

Painted Sandgrouse

Painted Sandgrouse (Pterocles indicus) — 26–30 cm. Boldly patterned; male with chestnut, black, and white breast bands; spotted underparts; short rounded tail. Endemic to the Indian subcontinent in dry rocky scrub and open woodland. Granivore. The only sandgrouse lacking pin-shaped tail feathers in India.

Black-bellied Sandgrouse

黑腹沙鸡(约360克)雄鸟具有复杂的棕色、黑色和黄色羽毛及黑色腹部。广布于中亚至伊比利亚半岛的干旱和半干旱草地及荒漠。以种子为食,常长距离飞至水源饮水,雄鸟会用腹部羽毛向雏鸟运水。近危;因农业变化和干旱导致草地退化而面临威胁。
