Peacocks

Peacocks are large, vibrant birds known for their stunning, iridescent plumage, especially the males, called peacocks. They display elaborate fan-shaped tails covered in eye-like patterns to attract mates and defend themselves from predators. Peacocks are native to South Asia but are found worldwide in parks and zoos. Their striking appearance results from specialized feathers and coloration, which can shimmer in the light. They are social birds, often seen in groups, and their calls can be loud and distinctive. Peacocks symbolize beauty and pride and play a role in cultural and religious traditions.
