Red spurfowl

This bird which is a member of the pheasant family is rarely seen since it is very secretive. In fact its mostly seen only when it darts out from the undergrowth to cross an open patch of land. Both the males and the females have spurs on their legs which give them their name. They generally feed on seeds, berries, molluscs and insects.
