Spotted
The only true peafowl native to Africa, this species is a vibrant and unique forest-dwelling bird. It exhibits less sexual dimorphism than its Asian counterparts.
Where to spot
Undisturbed primary lowland rainforests, particularly near rivers and clearings, in the central Congo Basin of Democratic Republic of Congo.
How to spot
Extremely shy and challenging to observe in its dense forest habitat. Listen for its distinctive double-honk call. Patience and a local guide familiar with its habits are essential for a sighting.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, foraging on the forest floor. Can be heard calling at dawn and dusk.
