Peacock (bird)

The peacock, specifically the male of the species, is known for its stunning, iridescent tail feathers that it fans out to display vibrant blues, greens, and golds. This elaborate plumage is primarily used to attract mates and demonstrate fitness. Peacocks are large, ground-dwelling birds native to South Asia, belonging to the pheasant family. They are known for their striking appearance, social behavior, and loud, distinctive calls. The female, called a peahen, is usually less colorful, focusing on nesting and raising offspring. Peacocks' impressive displays play a key role in their courtship rituals.
