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.

Green Peafowl

東南アジアに分布する緑色のクジャクで、インドクジャクと比較してより鮮やかな緑色の羽毛を持つ。開けた林地や農地周辺に生息するが、個体数は激減している。
