Description
I must admit the first time I saw this amazing bird my jaw dropped! It has enormous tail feathers longer than its 3 feet height, which it can display like a peacock to which the Argus Pheasant is closely related to.
This spectacular species comes from Southeast Asia, naturally occurring in Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. Their preferred habitats are forest areas, from sea-level to 4,000 feet.
Thanks for taking time to view and for any comments etc your care to make and apologies for not being around much we had a family member who has been seriously ill, but is now recovering.
