Georgian Quail

Quoyornis georgianus

The Georgian Quail (Quoyornis georgianus) is a small ground-dwelling bird native to the lowland forests and grasslands of Georgia. These birds are known for their distinctive call, a series of short, sharp whistles. They are primarily seed-eaters, foraging on the forest floor for grass seeds, grains, and small insects. The Georgian Quail is a shy and elusive bird, often difficult to spot due to its well-camouflaged plumage. It is currently facing habitat loss and degradation due to agriculture and urbanization.
