四川山鹧鸪是中国四川省特有的极危山鹧鸪，仅分布于四川南部少数地点的竹林和常绿林中。雄鸟胸部具醒目的栗红色斑块，体羽棕褐色具复杂斑纹；雌鸟颜色较淡。由于四川南部森林的大规模砍伐，被列为极危物种，估计野生数量不足1000只，是中国最受关注的濒危鸟类之一。
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.
