典型的攀禽，鸟喙强劲有力，喙钩曲，上颌具有可活动关节，喙基部具有腊膜。肌肉质舌厚。脚短，强劲有力，对趾型，两趾向前两趾向后，适合抓握和攀援生活。体型纤小，尾部较短，晚成雏。栖息于平原或低山地带的林木茂盛地方及耕地的植物丛中，尤其是多花的树木。它们常倒挂在枝条上栖息，所以有“悬挂的鹦鹉”之称。

3. Ferruginous Partridge, 锈红林鹧鸪, 銹紅林鷓鴣, Caloperdix oculeus, アカチャシャコ, SERUK-RIMBA JINGGA
Update 202504
No matter how rare or beautiful a bird is, once a photographer captures it too easily, it somehow loses its charm after being “ticked.”
Me and my best buddy first heard the call here, and we later saw it dashing across the area. Since then, this pair has been showing up quite frequently at a particular spot. Strangely, not many people come to see them, even though they’re such a photogenic pair in a perfect setting.
无论一只鸟有多么稀有或美丽，一旦摄影师太容易拍到它，在“打勾”之后，它的魅力似乎就减少了。
我与最好的朋友第一次听听到这只鸟叫，然后我们看到它在那片区域快速奔跑。从那以后，这一对鸟经常出现在一个特定的地点。奇怪的是，尽管这对鸟如此上镜，环境也非常优美，却很少有人前来欣赏它们。
#####
update 202409

– one of the most beautiful partridge for Malaysia.
– 2-3月时，它突然出现可是非常害羞都在后面跑来跑去。可是最近，他勇敢起来。都出来吃，在比他大的孔雀稚在也无恐的。
– 应该时马来西亚最美丽的鹧鸪之一吧。不喂食，应该没什么可能拍到好照片吧。
#####
update 202403
– another bird that everyone still hope to see while looking for while visiting one of the feeding spot. But it is never easy to meet this bird … finally it is active last few weeks and I managed to see it for 3/4 trips there.
– 当我们到这个“喂食点”， 这鸟之前是多么的吸引鸟人。现在每个人到哪，非常希望在拍到他。。。可惜他是多么的神秘，几乎都没什么人看到它。上几个月，我尽然遇上3次（去了4次）。。当然是拍到。

– 我们到达鸟点时已中午，其实没什么鸟。可是我们还是希望找些鸟来拍。第一个点就找到这么一只漂亮的鸟。可是它就如平常一样站的不是太高/矮，可是突然我见到一个小步道可以爬上去应该可以拍平视角。我一讲，客人（12岁）立刻跟随我爬上去。上去后就拍下这么一幕，当我们下去时，他就有点害怕（有点高）。小孩还是无惧很多东西。

7. Mountain Peacock-Pheasant, 山孔雀雉, アカコクジャク, KUANG-CERMIN GUNUNG
update 202510
This bird holds so many memories — I still remember those early days with Lee, sitting quietly in the hide, waiting patiently just to catch a glimpse. Our first photo and video of it felt like a real achievement. Now, it’s become so easy to see that many no longer appreciate how beautiful and special it truly is.
My final Malaysia birding tour of the year ended here. As expected, the bird showed up early with the partridges, and to our surprise, even displayed a bit — though the female showed no interest. That moment somehow felt like a reflection of myself… perhaps it’s time to seek more “green food” in life again.
这只鸟承载着太多回忆——还记得当年和Lee一起坐在鸟棚里，为了能独家看到它而静静等待，拍下了第一张照片和视频，那种成就感至今难忘。如今这只鸟变得容易见到，反而让人开始忽略它的美丽与特别。
今年最后一趟马来西亚观鸟之旅也在这里画上句号。如预期，它一早就和竹鸡一起出现，意外地还展示了一些求偶动作，但母鸟似乎毫无兴趣。这个画面竟让我有些共鸣……也许是时候为生活寻找更多“绿色食物”了。
#####
update 202407
– one of the bird I see and photograph most. Years back, we have so many tours just for the Malaysia endemic (Malaya) .. it come to feeding spot over the years and seldom miss

A noisy flock too, making their presence known and helping us locate them easily!
在这里遇到这鸟真是个惊喜！虽然不是第一次见到，但在这个区域还是非常少见。更难得的是，它们在离我们很近的地方觅食，刚好在拍摄的理想高度，提供了绝佳的摄影机会。
