The term PEACOCK MARKINGS refers to the distinctive eyespots or OCELLI that are found on the feathers of the peacock. These markings are usually circular in shape and are typically blue, green, or gold in color. The eyespots are also known as eyes, which is a four-letter word, and OCELLI, which is a six-letter word. These markings are believed to be used by the peacock to attract potential mates and to ward off predators.
