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.

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.
