Peacock

The peacock, specifically the Indian peafowl, is a bird renowned for its vibrant plumage and striking courtship displays. Native to the Indian subcontinent, peacocks thrive in forests and open woodland areas, where they feed on seeds, insects, and small reptiles.

Male peacocks are famous for their elaborate tails, which they fan out to attract mates. This dazzling display, combined with their loud calls, has made peacocks symbols of beauty and pride in many cultures. Despite their magnificence, peacocks face threats from habitat destruction and poaching for their feathers. Conservation programs have helped protect their populations, ensuring that these splendid birds continue to grace the wild and inspire human admiration.
