Indian Peafowl
Native to the Indian subcontinent and introduced widely, Indian peafowl are large, heavy birds — males (peacocks) reaching 2.3 meters including their spectacular iridescent tail trains of up to 150 feathers. The train's elaborate eyespot patterns are the product of sexual selection by peahens who assess male quality through train length and symmetry. Males fan and vibrate their feathers in dramatic courtship displays. The national bird of India.
