PEACOCK

hi

The Peacock is perhaps Nature’s most resplendent bird, with rich mythological associations & evocative symbolism. Perhaps this is the reason why it is India’s National Bird, representing to the Western eye all that is beautiful, graceful & aesthetically pleasing in Eastern Cultures. In fact, it is believed that Lord Krishna’s purity is exemplified by the Peacock Feather decorating his forehead – leading to the belief that the Bird intercourse takes place between a
male & female Peafowl but that the Peahen conceives by consuming a tear drop from the male –
thus preserving the purity of the Peacock. The Indian Peacock is one of the most recognizable birds in the world. It is a colourful, Swan – sized creature with a Fan-shaped crest of feathers, a white patch under the eye & a long,
slender neck. The male of the species is more colourful than the female, with a glistening blue breast & neck and a spectacular Bronze-green train of around 200 elongated Feathers. The female is Brownish, slightly smaller than the Male, and lacks the train. There is of course the White Peafowl which is often mistaken for an Albino, but it has a dark & not red iris, which is a sign of a recessive mutant
