Peacocks eat things such as grass, small snakes, small mammals, insects, seeds, and flower pedals. They live in parts of India and Congo. They live in places with luscious surroundings, like rain forests. They make their nests in trees. They live in groups known as parties. There are lots of types of peacocks. The main type that you will see in a lot of pictures is the Indian peacock. Some others include, the java green peacock, the Congo peacock, the bronze peacock, the albino peacock, the green peacock, and the charcoal peacock. Peacocks have lots of interesting features. Male Indian peacocks have things called trains on their backs. They are not considered their tails. They can keep there train down, flat on their backs, or spread it out behind there head. On their train, there are lots of shiny ''eyes.'' Peacocks have a short skinny beak. They also have a crest on top of their head. They have very sharp, strong talons that can grip a moving snake. Female peacocks are called peahens. Peahens are much smaller than peacocks in length, but they
are very important. They take care of the peachicks. Peahens like peacocks with large trains. Male peachicks start to get color at different ages, although it happens faster when peahens are around.Peafowl is the true name for both genders. Peacocks make a loud, harsh (and annoying) squawking noise. Believe it or not, peacocks fly. They are one of the largest flying birds. The scientific name of peafowl is Pavo.
