Did you know . . .

🦚 Male peafowls, known as peacocks, are famous for their stunning and iridescent plumage, including long, colorful tail feathers called "trains," which can reach up to 6 feet in length.

💃 During the mating season, peacocks perform elaborate courtship displays to attract peahens. This includes fanning out their tail feathers in a spectacular fan-shaped display, accompanied by vocalizations.

🐦 Female peafowls are called peahens, and they have a more subdued appearance compared to males. Their plumage is generally brown and lacks the extravagant tail feathers.

🌏 Peafowls are native to South Asia, particularly in countries like India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. They have been introduced to many other parts of the world due to their beauty.

🍽️ Peafowls are omnivores, and their diet includes seeds, insects, small mammals, and reptiles. They use their strong beaks to forage for food.

🌜 Peafowls are known to roost in trees at night for protection from predators. They are generally diurnal birds, meaning they are active during the day.

🔊 Male peacocks are quite vocal and produce loud calls, especially during the breeding season. The calls are a combination of honks and meows and can be heard from a considerable distance.

⏳ In captivity, peafowls can live for around 15 years, while their lifespan in the wild may be shorter due to predation and other environmental factors.

🔄 The impressive train feathers of male peacocks are molted each year after the mating season and regrow in time for the next breeding season. This process helps maintain the health and vibrancy of their plumage.

🌐 Peafowls and their vibrant feathers have cultural and symbolic significance in various cultures. In Hinduism, the peacock is associated with Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom, while in Greek mythology, the peacock is linked to Hera, the queen of the gods.
