Description
Photographic artwork by Cindy Treger. Photographed at the Virginia Safari Park. The Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus), also known as the common peafowl, and blue peafowl, is a peafowl species native to the Indian subcontinent. The male peacock is brightly coloured, with a predominantly blue fan-like crest of spatula-tipped wire-like feathers and is best known for the long train made up of elongated upper-tail covert featherswhich bear colourful eyespots. These stiff feathers are raised into a fan and quivered in a display during courtship.
