Peacocks are large, colorful pheasants (typically blue and green) known for their iridescent tails. These tail feathers, or coverts, spread out in a distinctive train that is more than 60 percent of the bird’s total body length and boast colorful "eye" markings of blue, gold, red, and other hues. The large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird's back and touches the ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their mates according to the size, color, and quality of these outrageous feather trains.
The term "peacock" is commonly used to refer to birds of both sexes. Technically, only males are peacocks. Females are peahens, and together, they are called peafowl.
Suitable males may gather harems of several females, each of which will lay three to five eggs. In fact, wild peafowl often roost in forest trees and gather in groups called parties.
Peacocks are ground-feeders that eat insects, plants, and small creatures. There are two familiar peacock species. The blue peacock lives in India and Sri Lanka, while the green peacock is found in Java and Myanmar (Burma). A more distinct and little-known species, the Congo peacock, inhabits African rain forests.
Peafowl such as the blue peacock have been admired by humans and kept as pets for thousands of years. Selective breeding has created some unusual color combinations, but wild birds are themselves bursting with vibrant hues. They can be testy and do not mix well with other domestic birds.

Answer:

My name is peacock. I am a medium sized bird. The pheasant is my relative. I live in India. I am very beautiful. I spread my colourful tail of feathers like a fan and dance. People love to see me dance. They have also developed a dance which is called peacock dance. They collect my colourful feathers and use them in their art and craft projects. Lord Krishna used to wear my feather in his head band.

My life span is 20 years. I like to eat insects, plants, seeds, and flower heads. Sometimes I munch on small mammals and reptiles so that I get the proper nutrients. I am scared of wild dogs, cats, raccoons and tigers. They are my enemies.
