Description
This endangered species of peafowl is rapidly declining in Southeast Asia due to deforestation, poaching and habitat loss. There are approximately 5,000-10,000 adults left. They peafowl are found in a wide range of habitats, including primary and secondary forest, both tropical and subtropical, as well as evergreen and deciduous. They may also be found in bamboo, on grasslands, savannas, scrub, and farmland edges.
Green Peafowl are the largest in the peafowl family. Green peafowl are generally more silent than Indian peafowl. The males of some subspecies, especially P. imperator, have a loud call of ‘ki-wao’, which is often repeated. The female has a loud ‘aow-aa’ call with an emphasis on the first syllable. The male may also make a similar call. The males call from their roost sites at dawn and dusk.
The green peafowl is capable of sustained flight and is often observed on wing.
