General Info
Behavior
This partridge probably forages in small groups, eating seeds, berries and termites. Its breeding has not been recorded. Its call is loud, steady couplets and triplets of whistles, and pairs often duet.
Distribution Area
This partridge is found in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Aceh, South Sumatra and Sabah. Its habitat is lowland evergreen forest and secondary forest.
Species Status
The number of mature individuals is probably less than 10,000 and may be less than 2500. On Sumatra, the species has rarely been recorded recently. It is suspected to be declining because deforestation, logging and forest fires have destroyed much habitat and it is trapped and traded. The IUCN has assessed it as a vulnerable species. The IUCN considers T. c. graydoni a separate species and has assessed it to be of least concern.
