Roul Roul Partridge

General Information

The Roul Roul Partridge, also known as the Crested Wood Partridge, is a small but striking ground-dwelling bird native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. They are sexually dimorphic, with the male’s vivid iridescent green plumage and tall red crest, and the female’s more subtle olive-green tones, they make stunning pairs!

These birds are known for their gentle nature and social behaviour. Roul Roul Partridges form monogamous bonds and are attentive parents, with both male and female helping to rear their young. They prefer dense undergrowth where they forage for seeds, fruits, and invertebrates, scratching through leaf litter with their feet.

Their forest habitat is under increasing pressure from logging and development, putting their populations at risk and underscoring the importance of habitat conservation.
