About These Birds

Bornean Crestless Fireback

A Bornean-endemic Phasianidae pheasant (~934 g) of hill and montane forests. Males have blue-black plumage and red orbital skin without a crest, distinguishing it from the closely related Malay species. Diet includes seeds, fruits, and ground invertebrates. Endangered owing to ongoing deforestation in Borneo.

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.
