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.
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.
