- In Poland 6 species of Galliformes are breeding and 3 of them are open-farmland species of birds: Pheasant Phasianus colchicus, Partridge Perdix perdix and Quail Conturnix coturnix. In last years an exponential decline in number of birds in farmland is observed. The main reason of this situation is fast development of agriculture, using of fertilizers, farmland monocultures, soil erosion, the cutting of small field woods and increasing population of predators, such as the Foxes Vulpes vulpes, Racoon Dogs Nycteresus procyonoides or crows Corvus corone. In addition, the series of severe, cold winters and rainy springs caused limitation of insects availability, which are the main food of the young birds.
