Green Peafowl
The Green Peafowl is a stunningly beautiful bird native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. Unlike its Indian cousin (the Blue Peafowl), both males and females have green iridescent neck feathers, and they are stronger flyers. It is an endangered species due to hunting and habitat destruction, making it much rarer in the wild.
