About These Birds
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.
Dulit Partridge
A poorly known Phasianidae partridge (~748 g) restricted to montane forests of central Borneo, including the Dulit Range. Very few specimens have been collected; biology largely undescribed. Forages on forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Data Deficient due to extreme scarcity of records.
