Blue Peacock
- Pavo Cristatus
The male is really impressive, because it has a very bright electric blue body, and a tail formed by 150 feathers that can measure more than two meters each, and that have, at different heights, an iridescent ocellus. With these feathers raised forming a spectacular fan, the male moves slowly back towards his possible companion and then turns around to finish impressing her. As if that were not enough, a curious crest of blue feathers lined up appears on his head.
On the contrary, the females present a cryptic coloration, brown with white splashes, although in the neck they have some very striking blue splashes.
They have a wide range of vocalizations, not always related to courtship.
