- The peacock is larger than the lyrebird.
- The two birds are quite different in appearance. The male peacock's brilliantly coloured tail with its distinctive "eyes" is displayed in a fan shape while the male lyrebird's plainer-coloured tail is displayed during courting in a lyre shape - hence the name of the bird.
