Peafowl

Male blue peafowl, better known as peacocks, are known for their spectacular train of iridescent feathers covered in a striking eye-shaped pattern. They fan out this impressive display to attract the attention of females. In contrast to males, female peafowl have white and brown plumage, with shorter trains that lack pattern. When fully extended, a peacock’s train constitutes about two-thirds of its total length, making the bird up to 2.2 metres long from head to tail.
