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.
Snow Mountain Quail
A large, robust Phasianidae quail (~401 g) restricted to subalpine and alpine grasslands of the Snow Mountains (Pegunungan Maoke) in West Papua. One of New Guinea's high-altitude endemics. Forages on the ground for grass seeds and invertebrates. Remote habitat affords some protection. Least Concern.
