| dc.description.abstract | The javan green peafowl (Pavo muticus muticus) have high pressure to the population and the habitat. Baluran and Alas Purwo national park is one of distribution javan green peafowl; it was chosen to study on the population and habitat analysis representative as population size and habitat types of the bird. The paper was aimed to gain the knowledge of strategic population and habitat selection of javan green peafowl on defend from the high pressure to the bird living. The individual number of the bird was counted by call count transect method and concentration count. The demographic parameter (individual number, age structure population and sex ratio) of javan green peafowl was analyzed. The result shown that, the population development has decreased approximately 47.5 % in 12 years at Baluran national park (BNP) but at Alas Purwo national park (APNP) growth up 86.05 % during 8 years. The age structure of the both population (BNP and APNP) indicated that tend to unbalance pyramidal, where adult birds more abundance than sub adult or juvenile. The birds sex ratio at both (APNP and BNP) indicated that the peafowl life in polygamous system 1 male : 4 female > 1 male : 2.5 Female. The javan green peafowl prefer habitat forest patchily with open area which are growth by grasses and shrubs. The green peafowl’s are searching food more at open area as feeding site. The green peafowl as herbivorous bird and ground animal feed much on leaf, seed of grasses and leaf and fruit of shrubs. They are choice luxuriant tree or shady place for sheltering during the hot days. The birds select certain tree as tall tree or emergent tree for roosting and not for the tree there any open area. Nesting site of the bird is open area where shrubs are growing. The javan green peafowl prefer habitat such as savanna, grazing area surrounded by forest and intercropping teak forest plantation. | id |
