Peacock (English name: Peafowls, maurya): Only 2 genera and 3 species. The genus Peacock includes two species with a total length of more than 2 meters, of which the tail screen is about 1.5 meters, which is the largest in Galliformes. The top of the head is emerald green, and the crest is blue-green and pointed; the cover feathers on the tail are particularly long, forming a tail screen, which is bright and beautiful; the real tail feathers are very short and dark brown. The female bird has no tail screen, and the plumage is dark brown and mottled.
The peacock symbolizes wealth and auspiciousness, grace and luxury in our culture. It is a veritable king of birds, auspicious bird.
Peacocks are divided into green peacocks, blue peacocks and Congo peacocks. The blue peacock is mainly distributed in India and the island country of Sri Lanka in South Asia. The green peacock is the most widely distributed in Southeast Asia, including my country’s Yunnan region. The Congo peacock is distributed in tropical Africa.

1p There are three kinds of white peacocks, because there are three kinds of white peacocks. Kind of morbid physique. Therefore, it cannot be separately classified as a genus, and artificial breeding is mostly.
The adult males of the blue peacock and green peacock are more than 2 meters long, and its tail screen occupies about two-thirds. The female bird has no tail screen, and the appearance is not as gorgeous as the male. Relatively speaking, the Congo peacock is much smaller, with a body length of only about 70 cm. The male body is black, with white clusters of feathers on the top of the head, and the female is green and brown. The male bird has an upright occipital crest, and its plumage is gorgeous.
Peacocks are mostly found in tropical and subtropical rain forests, jungles, and grasslands below 2000 meters above sea level. I especially like the place near the stream. Peacocks are born timid and fearful, and very vigilant.
Peacocks are omnivorous animals, mainly feeding on ants, insects, small reptiles, grass seeds, and some crops. The main domestic products are feed, grain, grass, etc. Now peacocks have been raised on a large scale, mainly blue peacocks.
The reproduction cycle of the blue peacock is 3-6 months, and the reproduction cycle of the green peacock is 6-12 months. They lay about 4-8 eggs each time, and the chicks will only hatch after about a month of incubation. The reproduction of the Congo peacock is based on the local rainy season, and the hatching method is similar to the previous two.
The status quo of green peacocks and Congolese peacocks is not optimistic. I hope that governments of various countries will increase their protection. We can't let this beautiful birdman disappear from our earth.
