Rephrased sentence: When a baby rock partridge stays very still, it looks like a little striped rock.

Why this happens (easy steps):

  1. Baby rock partridges have feathers with brown and white stripes.
  2. When they do not move, those stripes hide them by matching the colours of rocks and ground.
  3. Because of that, they look like a tiny striped stone and are harder for predators to see.
