☑ “Peacock” refers to male animals and “peahen” to females; together, they’re called peafowl.
☑ There are three different species of peafowl: the Indian peafowl, green peafowl and Congo peafowl. The missing bird is an Indian peacock.
☑Only Indian peacocks have the famous flashy feather trains and vibrant blue and green plumage. Indian peahens are mostly brown and grey with a few green feathers. Peacocks use their trains to attract mates – the bigger and prettier the train, the more likely a peacock is to attract a mate.
☑Peafowl are omnivores, eating insects, plants and small animals
☑Peacocks grow 90 - 130 cm tall and weigh around four to six kilograms. Peahens are slightly smaller.
☑According to National Geographic, the peacock is one of the largest flying birds if you count the length of its train (around 150 cm, or 60 per cent of a peacock’s body length) and wingspan (140 cm to 160 cm).
☑Peacocks can (sort of) fly – they tend to run and take several small leaps before a big final hop. They can’t stay airborne for very long, but their huge wingspan allows them to flutter quite far.
☑Peacocks have a top running speed of around 16 km/h.
☑Peacocks like to roost in high places, like roofs or trees.
