The Sri Lankan Galloperdix bicalcarata, also known as Ceylon Spurfowl, is a timid bird that moves close to the canopy. Often in pairs, they search for food around streams or on the edge of cliffs in dry forests. In a dangerous situation, he will pull his legs close to his neck and even jump from rock to rock on a hillside, always moving towards the top of the mountain if possible. The genus species only flies in extreme circumstances and can only fly very short distances. Then he lands in a hurry and starts running. If they keep chasing, they'll duck to a rock.
The Sri Lankan quail is a herbivorous animal that feeds mainly on plant seeds, tubers, berries and fruits. But it also includes a large number of invertebrates, especially termites.
Listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2016 Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 - Not Threatened (LC).
