**What a beauty
>Part 1
Peacocks are among the biggest flying birds on earth.” Peacocks are famous for their large, iridescent tail feather plumage. While it is the most widely recognized feature of peafowls, only males have these beautiful tail colorings.Strictly, the male is a peacock, and the female is a peahen; both are peafowl. The two most-recognizable species of peafowl are the blue, or Indian, peacock (Pavo cristatus), of India and Sri Lanka, and the green, or Javanese, peacock (P. muticus), found from Myanmar (Burma) to Java.
Peacocks are popular pets with people eager to host the showy ornamental bird, despite breeders admitting they are not particularly good companions nor protectors. ... While most councils do not have a peacock specific policy, residents in suburban environments are often discouraged from keeping this animal altogether.
Charles Darwin ventured that the magnificent trains on male peacocks, which feature ornamental eyespots called ocelli, evolved because of sexual selection. He speculated that there was a single origin, which sexual selection then enhanced.
Only Males Have Those Long, Beautiful Feathers. Like other bird species, it's the male of the peafowl species that has such eye-catching color and lovely decorative tail feathers. And just the males are called peacocks — females are called peahens — though both sexes are commonly referred to as peacocks.
