Size Comparison
Habitat Comparison
Harpyie
Tropical lowland rainforests, requiring large tracts of continuous forest with tall emergent trees for nesting.
Blauer Pfau
Open forests, farmland, and areas near water in the Indian subcontinent. Highly adaptable and common near human settlements.

Rarely heard; emits mournful whistled screams 'wheee-oo' and low croaking grunts near the nest. Vocalizations poorly documented given its remote Amazonian habitat.
Blauer Pfau
Loud, harsh, repetitive 'may-AWE' screaming call, audible over great distances. Display calls are a mewing 'aaaow'. Peacocks call persistently at dawn and before rain.
Geographic Range & Migration
Harpyie

About These Birds
Harpyie
Die Harpyie zählt zu den kraftvollsten Greifvögeln der Welt und besitzt Krallen von der Größe der Klauen eines Grizzlybären. Sie ist der Nationalvogel Panamas. Die größte Bedrohung für die Art ist die Abholzung der Wälder, da jedes Brutpaar ein weites Revier unberührten Waldes benötigt.
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.
