Species

Theground jays orground choughs belong to a distinct group of thepasserine order of birds in the genusPodoces of thecrow familyCorvidae. They inhabit high altitude semi-desert areas from centralAsia toMongolia.

Ground jays show adaptations to ground living such as long, strong legs adapted to fast running and the ability to leap and bound onto boulders and rocks with great agility. Their long, curved thick bills are adapted for digging and probing.

While capable offlight (which they do infrequently and relatively weakly), they prefer running, and will readily perch on trees and bushes also.
