Galloperdix spadicea Detailed Introduction

Galloperdix spadicea, also known as Red Spurfowl, is a timid bird that moves close to the tree 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.
