Basic Information
of
PEACOCK
Peacocks are large, colorful pheasants (typically blue and
green) known for their iridescent tails. These tail feathers, or
coverts, spread out in a distinctive train that is more than 60
percent of the bird’s total body length and boast colorful "eye"
markings of blue, gold, red, and other hues. The large train is
used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be
arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird's
back and touches the ground on either side. Females are
believed to choose their mates according to the size, color, and
quality of these outrageous feather trains.
The term "peacock" is commonly used to refer to birds of both
sexes. Technically, only males are peacocks. Females are
peahens, and together, they are called peafowl.
