Cambodian Partridge

Arborophila cambodiana

The Cambodian Partridge (Arborophila cambodiana) is a medium-sized bird found in the forests of Cambodia and Vietnam. It is known for its distinctive reddish-brown plumage with intricate black and white markings. This species is primarily ground-dwelling and forages for seeds, fruits, and insects in the dense undergrowth. The Cambodian Partridge is a shy and elusive bird, often heard through its distinctive calls rather than seen. Due to habitat loss and hunting pressures, the population of this species is declining, and it is considered vulnerable to extinction.

Habitat: Forest undergrowth
