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.
African Blue Quail
A tiny Phasianidae quail (~42 g) of tall grasses and moist savanna across sub-Saharan Africa. Males have a slaty-blue face and rusty-buff flanks; one of Africa's smallest birds. Highly secretive; rarely flushed. Feeds on tiny grass seeds and invertebrates. Migratory or nomadic following rains. Least Concern.
