Hainan partridge  (Arborophila ardens)

Biology

The Hainan partridge forages for food amongst the leaf-litter of the forest floor, feeding on the seeds, insects and small snails it unearths (2) (4).

The breeding season lasts from February until May, when the species’ distinctive courtship calls can be heard, and clutches of two to three eggs are normal (4).
