Field Notes

Description:

The blue peafowl (also know as indian peafowl) is a large and brightly coloured bird of the pheasant Family (Phasianidae) native to South Asia, but introduced and semi-feral in many other parts of the world. The males (peacocks) are colourful and the females (peahens) are almost all brown coloured.

Notes:

Nos jardins do Palácio de Cristal os pavões andam livremente entre o meio dos visitantes gerando-se um ambiente e uma oportunidade de análise muito interessantes.
