About These Birds
Sichuan Partridge
A medium-sized partridge (~400 g) of family Phasianidae, with a rich rufous breast and finely patterned brown upperparts. Endemic to montane forests in Sichuan Province, southwestern China at 600–2,500 m elevation. Forages on the forest floor for seeds, berries, and invertebrates. Vulnerable; restricted range, habitat degraded by logging and agricultural encroachment in mountain areas.
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.
