Least Concern

The Sand Partridge is a ground-dwelling gamebird of Caucasus, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian rocky drylands. It walks, scratches, and dust-bathes through cover for seeds, shoots, berries, insects, and other small food. Many rely on camouflage, short explosive flight, and seasonal displays by males.
