When the mating season begins, male birds offer foods to the females. If female birds accept, the male will do a performance, fanning his tail and compressing his wings to show off his stunning plumage.
Female birds then lay 2 eggs on the ground and incubate them for 18- 20 days. They will feed the hatchlings until they are fully-fledged.
In recent years, the population of Palawan peacock-pheasants has decreased quickly due to the loss of habitat (over-exploitation and deforestation). The Palawan Islands is now just a Biosphere Reserve.
Additionally, this bird has been trapped for the pet trade and hunted for meat, causing the decline of its population. It’s now highly endangered.
If you love this spectacular bird, just share this post with your family and friends. Nature is amazing!
