Male Peafowl, also known as peacocks, are large, colorful birds native to India and Sri Lanka. They are best known for the male's extravagant tail feathers, which can reach up to six feet in length and are used to attract mates. The female is much less showy, with a duller plumage and shorter tail. Peacocks are omnivorous, eating both plants and small animals. They are also popular in zoos and aviaries, where they are admired for their beauty and grace.
