The Bird's Journey of Questions Meets the Stone Chicken
A Bird's Questioning Journey Meets Stone Chicken
Stone Chicken, locals call them 'ga la ji' (chicken that calls 'ga la' ),
360 Encyclopedia introduction: Stone Chicken is a medium-sized pheasant, with 14 subspecies, slightly larger than quail. It has prominent black and chestnut markings on its flanks. Males have a small, knob-like process (plumal process) on their beak and red legs and feet. Females and males have similar plumage, differing slightly in size. Stone Chickens inhabit rocky slopes and sandy slopes in low mountains and hills, as well as plains, grasslands, and deserts. They prefer to live in flocks. They feed on young shoots and leaves of herbaceous plants and shrubs, berries, seeds, moss, lichens, and insects. They are found in Europe, Siberia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and China. It is the national bird of Pakistan.
Once, while traveling, you encountered a few stone chickens wandering leisurely on the road; when you arrived at the mountain, several stone chickens were perched on rocks, and they wouldn't even look at you if you didn't approach them.
