About These Birds

Orange-necked Partridge

A small partridge (~240 g) of family Phasianidae, with a vivid orange neck and throat patch. Endemic to a small area of evergreen forest in southeastern Vietnam and possibly adjacent Cambodia. Inhabits lowland and foothill forest. Forages on the forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Near Threatened; extremely restricted range with significant deforestation and active hunting pressure in southeastern Vietnam.

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.
