A large, social Phasianidae pheasant (~2.14 kg) of high-altitude coniferous and mixed forests in Sichuan and Tibet. Predominantly white with black cap and crimson facial skin. Groups dig for roots and bulbs with strong feet. Largely sympatric with pandas; protected in reserves. Least Concern.
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.
