About These Birds
Malay Partridge
A medium-sized partridge (~310 g) of family Phasianidae, with brownish plumage and white-streaked flanks. Endemic to the mountains of the Malay Peninsula in Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. Inhabits montane forests above 600 m elevation. Forages on the forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Least Concern; restricted highland species but not threatened in its remaining montane habitat.
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.
