Peacock

Peacock

A peacock is a male peafowl. Indian and green peacocks develop elongated upper-tail feathers that form a display train. The Indian peafowl has a blue neck and iridescent eye-marked train, while other peafowl differ in coloring. Females are called peahens. In those species, males spread and shake the train during courtship displays. Peafowl forage for seeds, shoots, insects and other small foods, and they can fly into trees to roost. The decorative train is not the same structure as the short true tail beneath it.
