About These Birds

Tan-breasted Partridge

苏门答腊山鹧鸪(罗利山鹧鸪)是印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛北部特有的山鹧鸪,栖息于山地常绿林。外形与其他亚洲山鹧鸪相似,以红色眼圈和棕褐色体羽为特征。由于苏门答腊北部森林的大规模砍伐,种群数量受到威胁,被列为易危物种。

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.
