About These Birds

Crested Partridge

A small partridge (~250 g) of family Phasianidae, males with vivid crimson crest and iridescent green plumage. Found in lowland tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia including Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. Forages on the forest floor for fallen seeds, fruits, and invertebrates. Vulnerable; dependent on primary lowland forest, heavily impacted by deforestation and palm oil expansion.

Chinese Grouse

A small grouse (~335 g) of family Phasianidae, similar to Hazel Grouse but with more chestnut tones. Endemic to montane forests of central China, including Gansu, Sichuan, and Qinghai. Inhabits dense broadleaved and coniferous montane forest at 1,500–4,000 m. Feeds on seeds, buds, and berries. Near Threatened due to restricted range, logging pressure, and limited population data.
