Double-Banded Sandgrouse Hunting

The double-banded sandgrouse (Pterocles bicinctus) is a bird species native to arid and semi-arid areas, mainly found in parts of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It is characterized by its distinctive plumage, featuring two prominent black bands across its chest. These birds primarily feed on seeds from grasses and legumes, foraging on the ground. They inhabit dry, open environments such as savannas, grasslands, and desert edges, favoring areas with bare ground and sparse vegetation.
