About These Birds

White-faced Partridge

东方山鹧鸪(灰胸山鹧鸪)是分布于爪哇东部和巴厘岛的山鹧鸪,栖息于山地雨林。以灰色胸部和复杂的面部斑纹为特征,与爪哇山鹧鸪关系密切,有时被视为其亚种。由于栖息地丧失,被列为易危物种,种群数量持续下降。

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.
