What is the type of fertilization of peacocks?

Peacocks, like all birds, exhibit internal fertilization. During mating, the male peacock (the one with the vibrant plumage) transfers sperm to the female peahen through a cloacal kiss, where their cloacas come into contact. This process allows for the fertilization of the eggs inside the female before they are laid. After fertilization, the peahen will lay the eggs, which are then incubated until they hatch.
