WHAT
IS A PEACOCK?
Peacocks
are native to India, but can live in many parts of
the world in captivity. There are many different kinds
of peacocks including the Indian Blue, Black Shouldered,
Congo, Green, and White peacocks. White peacocks are
the same as the Indian Blue in size and behavior,
but are white.
In
the wild, male Peacocks generally accumulate a harem
of 2 - 5 females. However, in captivity, they are
usually satisfied with one. The male has an extremely
long train (commonly called his tail) which is NOT
actually his tail. The train serves as a cover for
the actual tail, which is brown. The train actually
sprouts from the center of the back. Peacocks grow
to 7' from tip of beak to end of train.
