About These Birds
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.
Dulit Partridge
A poorly known Phasianidae partridge (~748 g) restricted to montane forests of central Borneo, including the Dulit Range. Very few specimens have been collected; biology largely undescribed. Forages on forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Data Deficient due to extreme scarcity of records.
