Peacocks are large and colorful birds native to South Asia, although they have been introduced in many other parts of the world. The male peacock, also known as a peafowl, is famous for its vibrant blue-green plumage and the long, colorful feathers on its tail. These feathers can reach up to 6 feet in length and are used by the male to attract a mate during courtship displays.

The female, on the other hand, is less colorful and has a brownish-gray plumage.

Peacocks are omnivores, and their diet includes insects, small mammals, reptiles, seeds, and fruits.

They are often kept in captivity for their beauty, and their feathers are used in various traditional and modern crafts.
