About These Birds
Dulit Partridge
A poorly known Phasianidae partridge (~748 g) restricted to montane forests of central Borneo, including the Dulit Range. Very few specimens have been collected; biology largely undescribed. Forages on forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Data Deficient due to extreme scarcity of records.
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.
