About These Birds
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.
Common Pheasant
雉鸡（约1.2公斤雄性）原产于亚洲，现已被引入欧洲、北美和其他地区用于狩猎。雄鸟具有虹彩羽毛、红色肉垂和长尾。栖息于农田、林缘和灌木地，以种子、浆果和昆虫为食。无危；野外种群通常有人工补充，是世界上数量最多的猎禽之一。
