About These Birds
Snow Mountain Quail
산 메추라기는 뉴기니 서부 고지대에만 서식하는 극히 희귀한 메추라기입니다. 이끼 낀 숲과 알파인 초원에 서식하며, 신비로운 생활사로 인해 과학적으로 거의 알려지지 않았습니다.

Inhabits lowland and foothill rainforests in Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. Secretive, foraging on the forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Near Threatened; associated with primary and tall secondary forest, declining with ongoing logging and land conversion.
