About These Birds
Belted Kingfisher
ミヤマカワセミは雌の方が雄よりも派手な色彩を持つという点でユニークで、赤褐色の腹帯が余分に加わっている。これらの騒々しい鳥は独特のガラガラとした鳴き声で縄張りを宣言する。重厚な嘴を使って河岸に最大2.4mもの深さの営巣穴を掘る。
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.
