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.
Hill Partridge
Una perdiz de colina robusta (unos 280 g) propia de los bosques del Himalaya y del sur de China. Tiene un collar negro llamativo y partes superiores con vetas y barras complejas. Vive en laderas boscosas entre 1.000 y 3.000 metros de altitud, donde busca su alimento entre la hojarasca. Como muchas perdices, prefiere correr a volar cuando se alarma.
