Spotted
Endemic to Taiwan, this bamboo partridge is known for its remarkably loud and clear vocalizations. It prefers dense bamboo and scrubland habitats in the island's mountainous terrain.
Where to spot
Endemic to Taiwan, found in bamboo thickets, secondary forests, and scrubland, primarily in mountainous and hilly regions across the island.
How to spot
Locating this species almost exclusively relies on its loud, characteristic calls. Once a call is heard, remain still and patiently scan the dense vegetation from which the sound emanates, as they are very secretive.
When to spot
Very vocal at dawn and dusk, making these the best times to pinpoint their location through sound. They can also be heard intermittently throughout the day.

'Sonorivox' in its scientific name directly translates to 'sounding voice,' a perfect nod to its exceptionally loud and far-carrying calls, which are a prominent feature of the Taiwanese soundscape.
