About These Birds
Hainan Partridge
海南山鹧鸪是中国海南岛特有的濒危鹧鸪，仅分布于海南岛低海拔至中海拔的热带森林中。雄鸟以红色面颊和黑色项链状胸带为特征，体羽棕褐色带复杂斑纹；雌鸟相似但颜色较暗。由于栖息地丧失和过度猎捕，被列为濒危物种，估计种群数量极少。
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.
