More about 24 ~Sri Lanka Spurfowl species~

**Sri Lanka Spurfowl species (e.g., Ceylon spurfowl) - island endemics (threatened)

Status: Several endemics vulnerable or threatened depending on species.

Range /Countries: Sri Lanka (montane and lowland forests).

Habitat: Forest understory, leaf-litter, montane patches.

Diet: Omnivore - seeds, insects.

Lifespan: Small passerines/ground birds ~3-10 years.

Reproduction: Clutches on ground; nesting vulnerability.

Ecological role: Seed dispersers and insect control - essential for forest floor functioning.

Main threats: Habitat fragmentation, introduced predators (rats, mongooses), nest predation.

Conservation notes: Protect forest understory, predator control and community stewardship of sacred groves are effective.

These ground-dwelling birds are often overlooked but are key seed dispersers and indicators of understorey health. Protecting them means maintaining understory complexity and preventing invasive predators.
