About this species
The Manipur Bush Quail is a critically endangered endemic of the tall grasslands of Manipur and Assam — one of India's least-known and most threatened birds. Extremely shy and difficult to observe, it depends entirely on intact terai grassland habitat. Loktak Lake's floating meadows represent the best remaining habitat. Find Manipur Bush Quail in Northeast India's grasslands. Critically endangered endemic — rare bird guide and Keibul Lamjao conservation story.
