Peacock Displaying Tail Feathers

A captive peacock — specifically Indian peafowl or blue peafowl (Pavo cristatus) — fans out his tail feathers to display the colorful eyespots contained on them. Peacocks typically drag their feathers in a long train, which can make up 60 percent of the length of their bodies. The Indian peafowl is a member of the pheasant family and is native to South Asia.
