The Bornean Crested Fireback is a subspecies of Crested Fireback endemic to the island of Borneo. Males possess a vibrant orange-red crest and a striking blue facial wattle, alongside the typical dark plumage of the species.
Where to spot
Lowland rainforests and secondary forests across the island of Borneo. They prefer areas with dense undergrowth and undisturbed forest floor.
How to spot
Similar to other forest pheasants, remain quiet and patient. Scan the forest floor and edges of clearings. Listen for sounds of foraging. The male's distinct orange crest is a key identification feature.
When to spot
Active year-round, primarily during early mornings and late afternoons when foraging. Increased activity may be noted during the breeding season.
