Peacock. Pheasantidae, also known as Yue Bird, Nanke. There are two main types of peacocks: green peacock and blue peacock: one is the green peafowl (or Javanese peacock). It is mainly produced in the tropical rainforest in southern Yunnan of China, and is also distributed in some countries in Southeast Asia. The second is the blue peacock (or Indian peacock), which is produced in India and Sri Lanka, among them, the blue peafowl also has two varieties of white peacock and black peacock. Peacocks like to move in pairs, or in groups of three or five, forming flocks during the day and perching on tall trees at night. Peacocks like to forage in open areas such as river valleys, shrubs, bamboo forests, and woods below 2,000 meters above sea level. Peacocks' food** is mainly mushrooms, young grasses, leaves, termites, insects, and also loves to eat grains, grass seeds, or wild fruits. The peacock has underdeveloped wings and flies slowly and clumsily, but its legs are strong and powerful, and it is good at walking, and it strides as it flies. Peacocks generally begin to breed in mid-February every year, and each nest can lay 4-8 eggs. The peacock has a small head and a hard beak, and a cluster of graceful and towering feather crests on the top of its head, which must have inspired the dance art of dancer Yang Liping. The feathers of the peacock male are colorful and shiny, and the colors are emerald green, blue, purple brown, etc.; And male peacocks are more beautiful and charming than female peacocks because male peacocks have long tail feathers, while female peacocks have very short tail feathers.
Wild green peafowl is mainly concentrated in the southern part of Yunnan, China, is a national first-class protected animal, in Yunnan wild animal plantation park, there are more than 500 peacocks. The peacock's tail screen has extremely long feathers, and the tips of the feathers have iridescent luster circles, and they are surrounded by blue and bronze colors, showing a bright metallic green. The tail screen of the male peacock has a variety of colorful patterns, and its long tail screen only expands during courtship; The feathers on the peacock's tail screen are particularly developed, with more than 150 roots, which are usually gathered behind and all spread out about 1 meter long, which is a rare peacock open screen; When the peacock opens the screen, it is extremely gorgeous, like a large fan that has been unfolded, and it is dazzling and breathtaking. Every spring, the peacock's courtship opening ceremony gradually begins to be staged, when the peacock unfolds the royal blue, metallic feathers, keeps shaking the instantly erected, shining, colorful tail screen, and then makes a variety of graceful dance moves, showing off their beauty to the female peacock, in order to attract the attention of the female peacock, and the female peacock will choose a mate according to the flamboyance of the male peacock's feather screen.
Peacocks not only open the screen for courtship, sometimes the peacock will also open the screen for self-protection. The peacock's large tail screen has many five-color golden emerald lines, which are scattered with many round or oval eye-like markings, which are usually composed of purple, blue, brown, yellow, red and other colors. Once the peacock senses danger, it will immediately open the screen, and constantly shake the tail screen to make it rustle, and at the same time, those erected eye-like markings will also show reflected light with the shaking of the tail screen, which looks like countless small mirrors, and is also like a multi-eyed monster, which causes the other party to be afraid and dare not approach rashly. Because the peacock will open the screen, the peacock is the most beautiful ornamental bird in the world and is known as the king of birds. For example, folklore says that the white peacock is the incarnation of the phoenix and the spirit of art, and the peacock symbolizes auspiciousness, prosperity and wealth, meaning peace and freedom, happiness and beauty, auspiciousness and kindness, beauty and wisdom, and has special value and significance.
