Peacock displaying

Peacocks are large, colourful 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 colourful "eye" markings of blue, gold, red, and other hues. The large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays.
