Peacock Coloring Pages: The peacock, scientifically known as Pavo cristatus, is a large and beautiful bird famous for its vividly colored and elongated tail feathers. Native to South Asia, particularly India and Sri Lanka, the peacock is the national bird of India. The male peacock, known as a peacock, features a resplendent train of feathers that can reach up to six feet in length. These feathers, covered in iridescent blue and green markings with graceful eye-spots, are used to attract females during courtship displays. Contrary to popular belief, the impressive tail feathers are not solely for display but serve as a way to enhance its chances of mating with a female. Additionally, the peacock possesses a distinct and vibrant call, which is often described as a distinctive "miaow" sound. Apart from their striking beauty, these birds are also known for their ability to fly, though their flying distances are generally limited. Peacocks are omnivores, and their diet primarily consists of plants, seeds, insects, and small reptiles. Due to their remarkable plumage and some cultural significance, peacocks are commonly kept in zoos, gardens, and as pets, where they continue to captivate admirers with their stunning appearance and unique behaviors.
