Himalayan Monal - हिमालयी मोनाल -Lophophorus impejanus - Impeyan monal, Himalayan pheasant-

The Himalayan monal pheasant is found in high altitudes of up to 4000 feet.
It shows greater seasonal movements than other pheasants in the area,
moving to much lower altitudes of 2000 feet in the wintertime. Most of its
day is spent foraging for food. They are excellent diggers, using their long,
curved beak to dig up to ten inches under the ground. These pheasants are
most often found in pairs or small groups maintaining defined home ranges,
with males being more competitive and aggressive than females. Four to six
pairs can be found in a half-mile radius.
This species of pheasant is extremely communicative, using both body
displays and vocalizations. The wide range in their calls allows them to
differentiate between contentment, aggression, alarm, and advertising for
a mate. The males have intricate displays signaled by bobbing the crest on
their heads and fanning their tail feathers.
