The peacock is a very large bird known for its massive plume of colorful feathers. Male peafowl are referred to as peacocks, and female peafowl as peahens, though peafowl of either sex are often referred to colloquially as "peacocks." The two Asiatic species are the blue or Indian peafowl originally of the Indian subcontinent , and the green peafowl of Southeast Asia; the one African species is the Congo peafowl , native only to the Congo Basin Male peafowl are known for their piercing calls and their extravagant plumage.
Another hypothesis is sensory bias, in which females have a preference for a trait in a nonmating context that becomes transferred to mating. Once the breeding season begins, the males collect several females into their harem, and protect them from other males.
Small populations of feral peafowl (wild peafowl descended from domestic stock) live in parts of Hawaii, southern California, and Florida. If I correctly phrase the question to, "Can you eat the egg of a peahen?" well, then the answer is, "Of course you can!" Penelope the Peahen lays between 4 - 8 eggs each year and because we don't have a peacock, they are not fertile.
The Indian peafowl forages on the ground during the daytime, eating just about anything it can fit in its beak. Along with profit, people usually keep various types of birds for the purpose of producing fresh food. Green peafowl live in Southeast Asia, including China, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Java.
It wasn't my first rodeo with poultry though-here's some things you could do with older peacocks, or any birds really. Peafowl are large birds with males measuring up to 2.3 metres (7.5 feet) in length and females being smaller at 86 centimetres (34 inches) in length.
Their female counterparts are called peahens, and their babies are called peachicks. Peacocks suffer from the threat of a few predators such as dogs, tigers, cats, raccoons, and some medium-sized mammals. The IUCN classifies the conservation status of the Indian peacock as "least concern." The bird enjoys wide distribution across Southeast Asia, with a wild population over 100,000.
Females are peahens, and together, they are called peafowl. My mother had a covey of about 10 birds (males and females). During molting season, the males shed their train feathers and their grey quill feathers are more obvious. Peacocks will also eat seeds, grass, plants and flower petals and berries as part of their diet.
Male peacocks are known as peacocks and female peacocks are known as peahens (in a similar way to chickens and pheasants). Peacock feathers are used in many goods. If your feed supplier does not stock game food, feed your peafowl on turkey and duck food. In the wild peacocks eat fruit, berries, grains, small mammals, reptiles, small snakes and insects.

This Is My Assignment For The Peacock
Peacocks, also known as peafowl, are large colorful birds that live in India and Asia. The peafowl diet consists of vegetation including seeds, fruit and insects, particularly arthropods, and small animals and reptiles, particularly snakes, even poisonous ones, which they exhaust by encouraging them to strike out in much the same way that the secretary bird does.
These peacocks live in private homes, on farms, and in zoos or wildlife refuges. 7. Peacocks were a delicacy in medieval times. Weight And Length: Male peacock weighs around four to six kilograms, while females weigh about 2.75 to four kilograms. These peacocks have a bit of a different diet than their wild cousins.
Most of the peacock farmer raise them for the purpose of producing their colorful feathers. The male Peafowl can have up to 150 brightly coloured feathers on its tail coverts. After mating, the female scrapes a shallow nest in the ground and lays between four and eight buff-colored eggs.
The length of peacocks is about six to seven feet, while the Peahens are about three to 3.5 feet long. A sign of poor nutrition in peafowl is mature peahens not laying eggs during the peafowl breeding season. In ancient times, travelers brought these animals from their native land of India to display as ornamental birds in many other countries.
These birds are often kept in captivity for religious, aesthetic or sentimental reasons for over 2,000 years. The females incubate the laid eggs, which hatch in about 28 days. Peafowl are omnivores that feed on insects, plants, and small creatures. The male peafowls tail is a strong outward signal of health and the better the peafowl's health the more tail feathers they will have.
Peacocks that live in their native habitat, in the forest for example, will probably consume snakes. Corn, wheat and other grains are a common food source for peacocks. Green peafowl differ from Indian peafowl in that the male has green and gold plumage and black wings with a sheen of blue.
They are part of the tail, but actually the feathers that cover the true tail. Green peacocks are protected wildlife animals in China while farmed Indian peacocks are considered edible. The male peafowls (called peacocks) have long, colourful feathers Female peafowls (called peahens) have shorter, brown feathers.
The peacock's head is shed by brush-like crested feathers displaying beautiful outlook. The tail length of the male Peafowl can be 4 - 5 feet. When raised in captivity, the domestic peacock are often feed a commercial bird and poultry feed. A Indian peafowl is a bird of the Phasianidae family.
