The Brilliance of Peacocks

The blue peacocks lives in India and Sri Lanka. They are large birds and are capable of flying even though their tails can be as large as five feet. It has been known that the male peafowl, known as the peacock, is the one that is colorful. The female peafowl is known as the peahen. The purpose of the colorful peacock’s feathers is to impress the peahens; they choose their mates based on the brilliance of the peacock’s feathers which come in colors such as blue, green, gold and red. The ones with the best colorful display are the luckiest in love matters and they may have the most peahens in their harems. It seems that the term "peacock" has been aptly used for some human males!

The Indian Peafowl has been bestowed with a well-deserved honor. India has designated the peafowl as its national bird. Pakistan also has similarly honored this bird by making it their provincial bird. It's no wonder since this bird can be so resplendent and that's a good image to have for a country.

The brilliant peacock shown in the picture was showing off its feathers in this moment and demonstrated what is so great about the peacock. This particular peacock resided at the Los Angeles Zoo where this establishment works to bring dwindling animal populations up to more plentiful numbers. You can help them in this endeavor by donating to the zoo and one way to do this is by purchasing a product with the picture of the peacock, or any of the other animals, from Dyani's Creations; a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the LA Zoo.
