About These Birds
Indian Peafowl
The Indian peafowl is the national bird of India and one of the most spectacular birds in the world. The peacock's enormous train, which can span over two meters, is used in elaborate courtship displays where the feathers are fanned and vibrated. Despite their size, peafowl can fly short distances and roost in tall trees.
Sabah Partridge
A little-studied Phasianidae partridge endemic to forests of Sabah and adjacent northeastern Borneo. Formerly lumped with the Chestnut-necklaced Partridge; recently elevated to full species status. Biology poorly known; presumed to forage on seeds and invertebrates in lowland forest. Near Threatened.
