About These Birds

Sumatran Partridge

キジ科に属する中型のシャコ(約335g)で、茶褐色の羽毛と鱗状の腹部を持つ。スマトラ島固有種で、標高600〜2,000mの原生林・二次林の高地に生息する。種子・ベリー・無脊椎動物を求めて林床で採食する。軽度懸念;スマトラの山地林は保護区内に相当量が残存し、安定した個体群を支えている。

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.
