About These Birds
Sichuan Partridge
A arborófila de peito-ruivo é uma arborófila criticamente ameaçada endémica da província de Sichuan, no sudoeste da China. Tem peito ruivo característico que contrasta com a garganta branca e face escura. Habita florestas de bambu e florestas de folhagem mista em encostas montanhosas. Com uma área de distribuição muito limitada e habitat cada vez mais fragmentado, é classificada como criticamente ameaçada. Estima-se que a população total seja de apenas algumas centenas de indivíduos.
Ferruginous Partridge
A small partridge (~210 g) of family Phasianidae, with rich ferruginous (rust-red) plumage and spotted black-and-white markings. 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.
