	Ammoperdix - Definition, explanation
		Ammoperdix is a small genus in the pheasant family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes.
		The males have distinctively-patterned grey heads, but the females are very washed-out in comparison, and this lack of a distinctive head pattern makes it more difficult to distinguish their species.
		When disturbed, Ammoperdix partridges prefer to run rather than take to the air, but if necessary they will fly a short distance on rounded wings.

		This 22-25 cm bird is characterized by its relatively smaller size in comparison with the chukar partridge, in addition to its sandy-brown plumage, the blue-grey head, and the white cheek patch with a yellow-orange bill that could be recognized easily in adult males.
		It is important to conserve and protect its habitat as part of our responsibility towards protecting our natural heritage.
