The green peafowl was widely distributed in South East Asia in the past from eastern and north-eastern India, northern Myammar and southern China, extending through Laos, and Thailand into Vientnam, , Peninsula Malaysia and the islands of Java. It is hope that perhilitan repopulate these beautiful birds also called Java subspecies to Taman Negara amongst the Argus................
In peninsula it is a difficult bird to see and thought to be near extinct but apparently there still are unconfirmed sightings in Southern Thailand and border still. Green peafowls are found in a wide range of habitats but in Malaysia they should be in only in primary forest, away from human disturbance. Proximity to water appears to be an important factor.
A date ... a place...
