Own every animal of the family Phasianidae.
Pheasants, partridges and grouse belong to this family of mostly ground-living birds. Quails and turkeys are part of it too. The domestic chicken descends from a wild species of Southeast Asia. They have short wings and often run rather than fly. Males are often more colourful than females.

Phasianidae
Francolinus francolinus · Least concern
In Haryana, India, it is the state bird, called kaala teetar; in Azerbaijan, fried francolin is a dish of the national cuisine. The black francolin only takes flight when disturbed, and the hen alone incubates clutches of 10 to 14 eggs.

Phasianidae
Lyrurus tetrix · Least concern
In winter the black grouse perches in dense forests and lives almost entirely on conifer needles. The glossy male, or blackcock, is much bigger than the greyish-brown female, which raises the brood alone. Although it has declined in western Europe, the world population is estimated at 15 to 40 million birds.

Phasianidae
Ithaginis cruentus · Least concern
Red feet and a ring of crimson bare skin around the eye mark this small pheasant of the Himalayan snowline, the state bird of Sikkim. Its females are choosy in their own way: they judge a male by his tail and ear tufts, and ignore how bright his plumage is.
