Step into the world of our peafowl and unlock the wonders of these extraordinary creatures
Male peafowl (peacock) is brightly coloured with it's famous long train and fan-like courtship displays. Females (peahen) lack the train and are much duller in colour, with a greenish lower neck and brown body. Young (peachicks) are pale brown until maturity.
Peafowl can produce loud calls especially in the breeding season. They frequently use a variety of calls including a low-pitched honk when agitated!
Peafowl forage on the ground in small groups of one male and 3-5 females. Groups are known as musters or prides. After the breeding season, the groups tend to be made up only of females and young.
