GREEN PEAFOWL
(PAVO MUTICUS)
A large Green Peafowl (a.k.a. peacock) is seen on a parked delivery van in a street of Phnom Penh in Cambodia.  Nearby residents say the bird is an escaped pet.   The I.U.C.N. classifies these peafowl as endangered in Cambodia with rapidly declining populations due to diminishing forest and hunting, which might explain this startling photo in a busy urban setting.
