They are related to quails and pheasants, so have the similar shape of a long neck which is green colored if female, and blue colored if male (this is how you tell them apart). They also have the similar very small head, but have small, magnifying glass- shaped feathers on the top of their head. Both males and females have a very round, oval brown body, but while females have a plain brown tail, males have a gorgeous, extremely long tail (it could be shorter if the peacock is not fully mature) that is green and blue with eye shaped circles at the tips of the tail (taken from Greek mythology; Hera, Zeus's wife, had an assistant, Argus, who had a hundred eyes all over his body, and when he died, Hera took his eyes and put them into her favorite animal, the peacock's tail, getting that design). When a male peacock spreads its tail, it creates a wonderful showing of its beauty, which a male uses to attract females during mating season. Its feet are similar to any other bird. It has beady eyes and a moderate sized beak, not too long and not too short.
