All about Peacocks

Peacocks are large birds famous for their colourful tail feathers. The males fan out their tails to attract females. The feathers have eye-like patterns that shimmer in the light, and the display is a dazzling sight.

The long train of a peacock is made of upper tail feathers called coverts. The female peahen is much less colourful, which helps her stay hidden while nesting.
