The process of increase of concentration of harmful chemicals like pesticides of concentration from first trophic level to the last trophic level in a food chain is called biological magnification. 

In the food chain, 

Grass ----> Grasshopper ----> Frog ----> Snake ---->Peacock 

Since peacock occurs at the highest trophic level (on the extreme right), therefore, peacock will have the maximum concentration of harmful chemicals in its body.
