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.
