In 1963, the peacock was declared the National Bird of India because of its rich religious and legendary involvement in Indian traditions. The criteria for this choice were many. The bird must be well-distributed within the country so it could truly 'national'. It must be recognisable to the common man. It must lend itself to formal depiction, i.e. abstract depiction on government publications, etc. It must not be confused with the bird emblem of any other nation. It should be associated with Indian myths and legends. The peacock fit the bill.

Rumours, mosly. Parisians knew that the Third Estate had declared itself a National Assembly, and that the King was opposed to this. They feared that the King was gathering troops to suppress the popular uprisings, and needed arms to defend themselves. The muskets they took from Les Invalides, but they needed powder, and that was at the Bastille. See my novella on http://www.grenfell-banks.com/Bastille.htm
