Peacocks showing their beautiful feathers

Peacocks are ground-dwelling birds, eating insects, plants, fruit, seeds, ants, flies, snakes and amphibians. They live in forests, farmland, bushland and other warm regions with easy access to low trees. The main purpose a peacock’s colorful tail trail is to attract peahens for mating. Performing a peculiar dance fascinates peahens and attracts them to mate. Some studies have shown that peacocks can fake a copulatory call in order to attract more peahens. Peahens choose a peacock based on its size, color and quantity of tail trains.
