Among landfowl (galliformes) are “mound-builders,” curassows, guans, chachalacas, guineafowl, new and old world quails, grouse, turkeys, and peafowl. Sometimes known as game birds, they vary in size. Typically, they are stout with short thick bills tailored for eating seeds or other plant materials; sometimes, insects and worms are eaten. Generally resident, some of the smaller temperate species, such as quail, do migrate. Typically, they show distinct differences between the sexes in size or appearance.
