What pretty birds! I have never heard of them before. Are they pheasants?

Francolins are part of the Phasianidae family, but are not true pheasants. The Phasianidae family includes Pheasants, quail, junglefowl, partridge, monals & peafowl.

I don't consider them pheasants.

Very cool, I have only seen them once of twice. I would consider them more comparable to a large partridge but francolin are deffinatly their own however rare they maybe.
