About These Birds

Tan-breasted Partridge

A medium-sized partridge (~335 g) of family Phasianidae, with plain tan-brown breast and muted brown upperparts. Endemic to the Natuna Islands of Indonesia. Inhabits tropical forest. Forages on the forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Least Concern; while restricted to small islands, remains stable; its insular endemism makes it vulnerable to future habitat clearance or introduced predators.

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.
