Megapodiidae or megapodes, incubator birds and mound-builders, is a genus of stocky, medium-large chicken-like birds with small heads and large feet. Their name literally means "large foot" (Greek: mega = large, poda = foot), and is a reference to the heavy legs and feet typical of these terrestrial birds. All are browsers, all but the malleefowl occupy wooded habitats. Most are brown or black colored. Megapodes are superprecocial, hatching from their eggs in the most mature condition of any birds. They hatch with open eyes, bodily coordination and strength, full wing feathers and downy body feathers,and are able to run, pursue prey, and, in some species, fly on the same day they hatch.
