Watch these cute families take a dust bath with their little topknots bobbing and you will be a fan forever. They live the California commune life style of the 60s in communal broods that contain at least two females, multiple males and many offspring, foraging together for seeds, leaves, berries, and bugs. You can watch a “flushing” when they startle in a short explosion of flight, but they much prefer to run and call “Chicago!” When ready to produce a family, the female will scrape a hollow in a sheltered place, line it with leaves and lay up to twelve eggs.
