Chinese bamboo partridge (Bambusicola thoracicus) male sound, calling and singing. The Chinese bamboo partridge (Bambusicola thoracicus) is a small Galliform bird. While common in bamboo forest, this loud and colorful partridge can be found also in a range of other shrubby and semiopen habitats.

The males broadcast loud, multi-syllabic calls throughout the day and throughout the year. These vocalisations serve as challenges to other birds as well as location calls and anti-predator alarms.

The loud contact call, often rendered as ki-ko-kuai or kojukkei is repeated several times before slowing to a stop. This call is heard far more than the bird is usually seen.

Though the species is common throughout its limited range, it is elusive and secretive. More... indianbirds.thedynamicnature.com
