🌏 Indian Peafowl (Pavo cristatus) The Indian Peafowl is a large, ground-dwelling bird known for its sexual dimorphism. Males, or peacocks, have iridescent blue and green plumage, a fan-like crest, and a spectacular long train of "eyespot" feathers for courtship display. Females, or peahens, are duller, with brownish plumage and no train. Native to the Indian subcontinent, they are found in forests and cultivated land near water. Peafowl are social, foraging in small groups, and are omnivores. They are known for their loud calls and for roosting in trees at night. 2.5 Flash (Edited) No subspecies are recognised. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by ElvisCZ via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/animal-bird-peacock-flowers-roses-3632046/ OTGH

White Peacocks: Facts, Behavior, and Images White peacocks are most often leucistic, not albino. Learn more about their ethereal appeal and symbolism with these eight facts.

TIL: I went looking to see if this was albinism. Answer: probably *not.* It also means the species is almost certainly Pavo cristatus. www.treehugger.com/albino-and-h... #leucism #leucistic #albinism #albino #PavoCristatus

In the meanwhile I present you Peter le Paon. Our bigbluebird arrived one day in our garden and never left.
