Spotted Wood Quail

It occurs in highlands from 1000 m or higher up to the timberline, usually in dense understory thickets or bamboos. The nest, as with several other wood-quails remains undescribed, but the eggs are known to be creamy-white with brown spots.

The Spotted Wood Quail is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Spotted Wood Quail have a tropical range, and as jungle dwellers one might thing they would not do well as aviary birds. However, other types of game birds from tropical parts of the world have proven adaptable to captive conditions, so I see no reason to believe Spotted Wood Quail could not be managed and preserved successfully in captivity.
