About These Birds
Bornean Partridge
A medium-sized partridge (~270 g) of family Phasianidae, with rufous-orange breast and barred brown upperparts. Endemic to Borneo, inhabiting primary lowland and montane forests from sea level to 1,800 m elevation. Forages on the forest floor for seeds, berries, and invertebrates. Least Concern; broadly distributed across Borneo's forests, though logging and land conversion pose growing threats.
African Blue Quail
A tiny Phasianidae quail (~42 g) of tall grasses and moist savanna across sub-Saharan Africa. Males have a slaty-blue face and rusty-buff flanks; one of Africa's smallest birds. Highly secretive; rarely flushed. Feeds on tiny grass seeds and invertebrates. Migratory or nomadic following rains. Least Concern.
