Peacocks are among the most visually stunning birds in the world

Peacocks are among the most visually stunning birds in the world, known for their iridescent plumage and elaborate courtship displays. The term "peacock" typically refers to the male of the species, while the female is known as a peahen, and together they are peafowl. There are three main species of peafowl: the Indian Peafowl (Pavo cristatus), the Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus), and the Congo Peafowl (Afropavo congensis). ### Indian Peafowl The Indian Peafowl is the most well-known species and is native to South Asia. The male is famous for its bright blue and green feathers and the long train of tail feathers adorned with eye-like patterns called ocelli. These feathers are used in courtship displays to attract females. Indian Peafowl are often found in forests and farmlands and have been introduced to many parts of the world as ornamental birds. ### Green Peafowl The Green Peafowl is native to Southeast Asia and has a more uniform green plumage compared to its Indian counterpart. Males and females look more alike in this species, with both sexes displaying bright, metallic green feathers. The Green Peafowl is less commonly seen in captivity and is more elusive in the wild due to habitat destruction and hunting pressures. ### Congo Peafowl The Congo Peafowl is native to the rainforests of the Congo Basin in Central Africa. This species is less known and exhibits more subtle coloration compared to the Indian and Green Peafowl. The male has a deep blue body with metallic green and purple highlights, while the female is reddish-brown with greenish upperparts. The Congo Peafowl is adapted to life on the forest floor and is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss. ### Behavior and Ecology Peafowl are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of foods including seeds, insects, fruits, and small mammals. They are ground feeders but roost in trees at night to avoid predators. Males are polygamous, often mating with several females. During the breeding season, males perform spec
