Our peafowl are known as Indian peafowl. The
males are known as Peacock while females are known as Peahen. The Indian peacock,
the national bird of India, is a colourful, swan-sized bird with a
fan-shaped crest of feathers on its head, a white patch under the eye & a
long-slender neck. The male of species is more colourful than & neck &
a spectacular bronze-green tail of around 200 elongated feathers. The female is
brownish, slightly smaller than the male & lacks the tail. The elaborate courtship
dance of the male by fanning out the tail & quivering the feathers is a
gorgeous sight.
The peacock is widely found in the Indian
sub-continent from the south & east Assam, south Mizoram & the
whole of the Indian peninsula. The peacock enjoys full protection under the
Indian wildlife (Protection) act, 1972.
Most interesting think that peacock
represents a colourful life.
