About These Birds
Taiwan Partridge
A medium-sized partridge (~260 g) of family Phasianidae, with reddish-orange throat, dark brown upperparts, and scaly underparts. Endemic to the montane forests of Taiwan at 500–2,800 m elevation. Forages on the forest floor for seeds, berries, and invertebrates. Least Concern; Taiwan's mountain forests are well protected, supporting stable populations of this island endemic.

Inhabits subtropical and montane broadleaved forests and bamboo thickets in the Himalayas from Pakistan to southwestern China. Forages on the forest floor for seeds, berries, and invertebrates.
