Phasianid

"The chukar, a bird of the phasianid family, is distributed in Israel across a sharp climatic cline from Mediterranean regions in the north to extremely arid areas only ~200 km away in the Negev Desert."

"The megapode is viewed as a ‘specialised’ galliform, having extended the phasianid incubation period and producing superprecocial hatchlings that have developed in the egg for a further four weeks."

"It is a medium-sized phasianid: males can weight even 600 grams and are bigger than the females. Moreover, unlike the females, they have ergots on the claws.; Typical of many phasianid birds, guinea fowl are capable runners that have strong burst-flight capacities but little endurance in flight."
