斯里兰卡鸡鹑学名Galloperdix bicalcarata，外文名Ceylon Spurfowl，这是一些胆小的鸟类，接近树冠活动。通常成对在溪流周围或干燥的森林里的悬崖边上寻找食物。遇到危险的情况，会收缩双腿靠近脖子，甚至在山坡上从一块岩石跳到另外的岩石，总是在可能的情况下朝山顶方向行动。该属物种只在极端的情况下飞行，只能飞行很短的距离。然后匆忙降落，就开始跑步了。如果坚持追赶，它们就会躲避到一块石头上了。
斯里兰卡鸡鹑是植食性动物，以植物种子、块茎、浆果和水果为主要食物。但也包括大量的无脊椎动物，特别是白蚁。
列入《世界自然保护联盟》（IUCN） 2016年濒危物种红色名录ver 3.1——无危（LC）。
