Ammoperdix heyi, also known as Sand Partridge, has four subspecies.
The partridge is stout, smaller than the pheasant, fast at running and hiding, rarely flying, and soon tired of flying. Found in deserts and rocky slopes. The song of the partridge has an elegant texture and often echoes in its rocky environment. The male bird's song includes the qwei-qwei-qwei sound, and the alert wuit-wuit-wuit sound when danger occurs. Quails are tender and have been hunted since ancient times. Hunters often beat down the partridge with their clubs when it was flying out of its hiding place. The partridge flees when in danger, hiding behind rocks or other obstacles, or in stone crevices or other crevices.
Partridge usually lives in pairs and is considered monogamous. Females usually breed in April, laying 5-7 eggs per litter, with nests embedded or hanging from rocks and covered with plants for shelter. This ground-dwelling bird can fly briefly when it is disturbed, preferring to run quickly or climb to safety.
Listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2016 Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 - Not Threatened (LC).
