Definition
A bird that lives, nests, or feeds primarily on the ground rather than in trees or the air.
Etymology
Compound word from 'ground' plus 'bird,' descriptively naming birds characterized by their ground-dwelling habits, similar to 'groundhog' or 'ground-nesting.'
Kelly Says
Groundbirds like quail and partridges evolved their camouflage and nesting behavior to hide from predators on open ground—it's a completely different survival strategy than tree-dwelling birds.
