Crested Wood Partridge, TN Aquarium

This is video I captured of the Crested Wood Partridge at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, TN.

According to tnaqua.org (link is below) The male is distinguished by a striking reddish crest, dark, blue-green feathers, and a vivid red circle around his eye, lower beak, and legs. The wings and head of the female are reddish, while the body is green. Crested partridges spend the most of their time foraging for food on the forest floor in flocks of five to fifteen. Five to six eggs are placed in the nest, which is a straightforward depression in dried leaves. The IUCN lists the Crested Wood Partridge in the wild as "Near Threatened" due to excessive logging and habitat loss. The Tennessee Aquarium keeps a breeding flock of two males and three females in the Butterfly Garden in Ocean Journey. They are quite common in captivity..
