About These Birds
Przevalski's Partridge
A large Phasianidae partridge (~553 g) of rocky semi-arid terrain and loess gullies in the Gansu corridor and adjacent Yellow River basin, northern China. Closely related to Chukar but notably larger. Feeds on seeds, leaves, and invertebrates. Tolerates cold winters; forms winter coveys. Least Concern.
Bornean Crestless Fireback
A Bornean-endemic Phasianidae pheasant (~934 g) of hill and montane forests. Males have blue-black plumage and red orbital skin without a crest, distinguishing it from the closely related Malay species. Diet includes seeds, fruits, and ground invertebrates. Endangered owing to ongoing deforestation in Borneo.
