Peacocks!

We all call them Peacocks, right? Probably because the Male has the brighter and more beautiful feathers than the female. "Peacocks" in general are called Peafowls (male or female). A male Peafowl is called a Peacock and the female Peafowl is called a Peahen. Peacocks have big and bright feathers, and the peahens don't. Thats because the peacock uses his tail to attract the peahens. The Peacock starts to grow his beautiful feathers when its about 3 years old. They grow up to be more than 5 feet long, and are shed every year. When the peacock is about 6 years old, it has a full grown and developed tail.

 Even though Peafowls usually walk they have the ability to fly as well. (picture of a peahen)
 Peahen's can lay 6-12 eggs. The baby peafowls are called Peachchicks:  There is also a such thing called a white peacock. It's also known as the Albino Peacock. Heres a picture of one: You would rarely see a white peacock anywhere. And Especially this kind of peacock:
 It's a half albino peacock and half indian peacock. It's really cool how it changes half from albino to indian peacock! I have never seen a peacock like this before. (yes, it is a real peacock.) There are many types of peacocks, some with brown feathers and some with blue feathers. Did you know that Peacocks are India's National Bird.  Peafowls are really interesting! Especially their feathers, and the fact that they can fly! For More Info on peafowls click on: Peafowls Info.
