The crested wood partridge also known as the crested wood pigeon is a native bird of Indonesia found over a wide range. It is a game bird and makes our pheasant and grey partridge rather drab in comparison.
The male constructs very elaborate nests using twigs and leaves the female will choose one to conceal herself and her eggs. They feed on insects, shoots and fruit as they rummage around the forest floor.
The male above is a black green body with an awesome red crest the female a little less flamboyant and is a beautiful green colour.
