Life as a indian peafowl
Indian peafowl forage on the ground and roost high in trees across South Asia.
Amazing adaptation
Built to survive
The male's shimmering train displays eyespot patterns that are used during courtship.
Did you know?
Surprising fact
The colourful train is made of lengthened upper-tail coverts rather than the true tail feathers.
