Buttonquail : Turniciformes

Buttonquails
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Galliformes Family: Turnicidae
Genera Turnix Ortyxelos

The buttonquails or Hemipodes are a small family of birds which resemble, but are unrelated to, the true quails.

The buttonquails are traditionally placed in the crane or pheasant orders, but the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy elevates them to a new order Turniciformes.

This is an Old World group, which inhabits warm grasslands.

These are small drab running birds, which avoid flying. The female is the brighter of the sexes, and initiates courtship. The male incubates the eggs and tends the young.

All but one of the 15 species are in the genus Turnix.

This group is related to other members of the gamebird family thus..
