PEACOCK
			Phylum: Class: Order: Family: Chordata Aves Galliformes Phasianidae

A truly beautiful species, the peacock (male peafowl) is renowned for its georgous train of eye spot feathers it raises up to frame its glossy blue head, neck, and body when it is courting a female (known as a peahen). The females are brown, and lack the train of the peacock.

This species of peafowl lives in the wild in India and Sri Lanka. It feeds on the ground, and eats seeds, fruit and insects. The green peafowl lives farther east, from Burma to Java. Both the sexes of this breed are green with bronze mottlings from the crest to the tail, and the wings are turquoise and black. The Congo peacock lives in the deep forests of Central Africa. The male is blue and green with a short, broad tail, and the female is chestnut and green.
