About These Birds
Hainan Partridge
A small partridge (~245 g) of family Phasianidae, with black-and-white facial markings and rufous breast. Endemic to Hainan Island, China. Inhabits tropical and subtropical montane forests, increasingly confined to higher elevations due to lowland deforestation. Forages on the forest floor for seeds and invertebrates. Vulnerable; very restricted island range with severe habitat loss over past decades.
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.
