About These Birds

Sichuan Partridge

La arborófila de pecho rojizo de Sichuan es una especie de arborófila en peligro crítico de extinción endémica de la provincia de Sichuan, en el suroeste de China. Solo es conocida de unos pocos puntos en el sur de Sichuan, donde habita en los bordes de bosques de bambú y bosques de hoja perenne montanos. La pérdida de hábitat forestal la ha reducido a una de las arborófilas más raras del mundo.

Found in lowland tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia including Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. Forages on the forest floor for fallen seeds, fruits, and invertebrates. Vulnerable; dependent on primary lowland forest, heavily impacted by deforestation and palm oil expansion.
