About These Birds
Hainan Partridge
A small partridge (~245 g) of family Phasianidae, with black-and-white facial markings and rufous breast. Endemic to Hainan Island, China. Inhabits tropical and subtropical montane forests, increasingly confined to higher elevations due to lowland deforestation. Forages on the forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Vulnerable; very restricted island range with severe habitat loss over past decades.
Blauer Pfau
Der Blaue Pfau ist der Nationalvogel Indiens und einer der spektakulärsten Vögel der Welt. Die riesige, über zwei Meter lange Schleppe des Pfaus wird bei aufwendigen Balzritualen gefächert und in Vibration versetzt. Trotz ihrer Größe können Pfauen kurze Strecken fliegen und übernachten in hohen Bäumen.
