Peacocks are massive in size but they can fly easily for short distances. they can fly and sit on the high branch of the tree easily.

Not all the peafowl are colorful, few of them are white in color. The white peacock is the result of a mutation in which the bird loses its pigments which make it colorful.

The feather of the peafowls is consist of tiny crystal-like structures. And the color of the feather is depended on the space between these crystal-like structures.

The length of the feathers on peacocks can grow 6 feet long. Only males have colorful feathers.

Peacocks are not only beautiful colorful birds but they are also clever. They send fake copulative mating calls to attract the Peahens.

Like humans peahen also get attracted by the peacock with good size, color, and quality feathers.

Peacock is polygamous and can have 2 to 5 peahen partners.
