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.
Blood Pheasant
A medium-sized pheasant (~535 g) of family Phasianidae, males with blood-red streaked plumage on green and grey tones. Inhabits dense subalpine forests and rhododendron scrub in the Himalayas from Nepal to southwestern China at 2,800–4,500 m elevation. Feeds on mosses, ferns, berries, and seeds. Least Concern; the sole member of genus Ithaginis with a broad Himalayan distribution.
