About These Birds
Sichuan Partridge

Endemic to montane forests in Sichuan Province, southwestern China at 600–2,500 m elevation. Forages on the forest floor for seeds, berries, and invertebrates. Vulnerable; restricted range, habitat degraded by logging and agricultural encroachment in mountain areas.
