PEACOCK FUN FACTS

A male peafowl is called a peacock while a female is called a peahen.

They are one of the largest flying birds. Their length (including tail) can reach 5 feet (1.6 m).

Peafowl can weigh between 8-13 pounds (3.6 - 5.8 kilos).

They are omnivores, eating primarily insects, arthropods, amphibians, flowers, and seeds.

Their main predators are tigers, leopards, and mongoose. When they sense danger, they fly and hide in the trees. They spend nights on trees for the same reason.

A family of peafowl is called a "bevy". A group of peafowl is called a "party".

Beautiful and colorful tails are characteristic only for the males. The tail makes up 60% of their overall length.

Peahens choose their partners by the length, width and coloration of their tails.

Peacocks are polygamous (mate with more than one female) and usually form a harem that consists of 2-5 females.

One day old baby peafowl can walk, eat and drink without assistance.

Peafowl live up to 20 years both in the wild and in captivity.

Elvis Presley kept peafowl at his Graceland estate until the peacocks began pecking dents into the hubcaps of his cars.
