About These Birds

Red-billed Partridge

A small partridge (~225 g) of family Phasianidae, distinguished by its bright red bill on dark plumage. Endemic to montane forests of Sumatra at 700–2,000 m elevation. Inhabits the forest floor and dense undergrowth of subtropical highland forest. Forages for seeds, berries, and invertebrates. Least Concern; restricted to Sumatran mountains but currently stable with sufficient forest cover remaining.

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.
