About These Birds
White-cheeked Partridge
A medium-sized partridge (~255 g) of family Phasianidae, with white cheeks contrasting against a black throat. Inhabits subtropical and lower montane forests in northeastern India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Forages secretively on the forest floor for seeds and invertebrates in dense bamboo and undergrowth. Least Concern; widespread in the eastern Himalayan foothills and Assam region.
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.
