About These Birds
American Robin
美洲鸫（学名Turdus migratorius）被广泛视为北美春天的使者。尽管名为"知更鸟"（robin），实为鸫科（Turdidae）成员，与欧洲知更鸟无近缘关系。雄鸟胸部橙红色，头部黑色，体长约25厘米。食蚯蚓和浆果，常见于草坪和公园。
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.
