About These Birds
Malay Partridge
A medium-sized partridge (~310 g) of family Phasianidae, with brownish plumage and white-streaked flanks. Endemic to the mountains of the Malay Peninsula in Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. Inhabits montane forests above 600 m elevation. Forages on the forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Least Concern; restricted highland species but not threatened in its remaining montane habitat.
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.
