Naming
The scientific name commemorates the French naturalist Pierre-Médard Diard.
Distribution
The Siamese Fireback is distributed to the lowland and evergreen forests of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam in Southeast Asia. This species is also designated as the national bird of Thailand. The female usually lays between four to eight rosy eggs.Status
Due to habitat loss and over-hunting in some areas, the Siamese Fireback was evaluated as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, however, it is now Least Concern, because the populations declines were probably over estimated.References:
