peacocks have a very Lon g and beautiful iridescent blue-green plumage. (tail feathers), that are most unique in pattern and color. They have an "eye" shaped pattern on them.

When the term peafowl is used, peacock then refers to the male of a species and peahen to the female. During courtship the crested male common peacock displays his elongated upper tail coverts - a magnificent green and gold erectile train adorned with blue-green eyes - before the duller-plumaged peahen. The peacock is well known as an ornamental bird, The male (peacock) Indian Peafowl has beautiful iridescent blue-green or green colored plumage. The so-called "tail" of the peacock, also termed the "train", is not the tail quill feathers but highly elongated upper tail coverts. The train feathers have a series of eyes that are best seen when the tail is fanned.
