Peacock with Extended Plumage Pavo Muticus
These tail feathers of the peacock, or coverts, spread out in a distinctive train that is more than 60 percent of the birds total body length and boast colourful "eye" markings of blue, gold, red, and other hues. The large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird's back and touches the ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their mates according to the size, colour, and quality of these outrageous feather trains.
The term "peacock" is commonly used to refer to birds of both sexes. Technically, only male bird is a are peacock. Females are peahens, and together, they are called peafowl.
Suitable males may gather harems of several females, each of which will lay three to five eggs. In fact, wild peafowl often roost in forest trees and gather in groups called parties.
Peacocks can be noisy, they have a very loud high-pitched meow like sound . They call a lot during the mating season. Dawn and late evening is a favourite time for this.
This was filmed last week in a very small village in Bulgaria where I was passing through and found them by surprise and waited long time to see the feathers display and film some video.
