It is famous for its vibrant plumage, particularly the male's iridescent tail feathers, which can be fanned out in a spectacular display during courtship rituals. The peacock's feathers feature eye-catching patterns that are used to attract females. These birds are typically found in forests, grasslands, and near water sources. The Indian peacock is also the national bird of India, symbolizing grace and beauty. They are omnivorous, feeding on seeds, insects, and small animals, and are known for their loud calls.
