About These Birds
Sumatran Partridge
A medium-sized partridge (~335 g) of family Phasianidae, with brownish plumage and scaly underparts. Endemic to Sumatra, inhabiting primary and secondary highland forests at 600–2,000 m elevation. Forages on the forest floor for seeds, berries, and invertebrates. Least Concern; Sumatra's mountain forests retain substantial cover in protected areas, supporting stable partridge populations.
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.
