Peacock Feather Display - a photo on Flickriver

            This is the same peacock as yesterday but without the closeup lens.  I had to wait for some time untill at last he walked into the sunlight to put his full glory on display.Peacocks are large, colorful pheasants known for their iridescent tails. These tail feathers spread out in a distinctive train that is more than 60 percent of the bird’s total body length and boast colorful "eye" markings of blue, gold, red, and other hues. The large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird's back and touches the ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their mates according to the size, color, and quality of these outrageous feather trains.

The term "peacock" is commonly used to refer to birds of both sexes. Technically, only males are peacocks. Females are peahens, and together, they are called peafowl.
