When it comes to peacocks, everyone knows that this is probably the most beautiful bird that humans have ever seen in real life. Peacocks belong to the order Galliformes and are regarded as the "king of birds" because of their beautiful appearance.
Peacock is the most beautiful ornamental bird, a symbol of auspiciousness, kindness, beauty and luxury. There are two types of peacocks in the world: green peacocks and blue peacocks. The blue peacock, also known as the Indian peacock, has a royal blue plumage with metallic luster and is native to India and Sri Lanka. The green peacock, also known as the Java peacock, is produced in some countries in Southeast Asia. There are two variants of the blue peacock: the white peacock and the black peacock.
Peacocks are omnivores. Peacocks mainly eat plants and crops, and occasionally eat animals such as locusts and crickets. Peacocks are good at walking but not good at flying. They mainly live in hilly forests, dry semi-desert grasslands, shrubs and deciduous forest areas, especially near water. Peacocks are accustomed to go out in the morning for food, and play in the trees at night. Peacocks generally act in pairs, rarely alone.
Spring is the season for peacocks to lay eggs and reproduce offspring. Peacocks open their screens as courtship behaviors, which are inherent reproductive behaviors. Everyone should know that there are indeed many purposes for the peacock to open the screen, and the core purpose of the peacock to open the screen is for courtship. During courtship performances, the male peacock raises his tail under the tail screen. Thus, the tail screen is erected and forward. When the courtship show reaches its climax, the male peacock's tail feathers quiver, flash, and make noises. Male peacocks are very jealous. If two male peacocks meet, they will fight immediately.
The peacock's feather crest is not only a beautiful decoration, but also a sensor that vibrates at the same frequency as the tail feathers when the screen is opened. For example, when a male peacock is courting, the screen is opened, and the female peacock in the distance can not only see it, but also feel it in her mind.
Every spring, especially in March and April, the peacock opens the most times. The male peacock unfolds colorful and brightly colored tail screens, in addition to showing off his beauty to the female peacock and attracting the female peacock, sometimes it is also for the purpose of protecting himself. Once it encounters the enemy and it is too late to escape, the peacock will open the screen, and then shake the tail screen, so that the enemy can see multiple "eye" patterns on the tail feathers, so as to scare the enemy away and protect himself from harm.
Also, peacocks sometimes open their screens when they are not courting. Because of their personality, peacocks will be very confident, and they will think that opening the tail feathers is a manifestation of self-confidence, and even this self-confidence can be maintained for a period of time.
Green peacock As of 2014, the number of species distributed in Southeast Asia continued to decline. The population of this species has declined by almost 50% over the past three decades, and the numbers of these animals are expected to continue to decline. If conservation measures are not taken as soon as possible, it may be endangered.
