Are peafowl and peacocks the same thing?
A male peafowl is a peacock; a female peafowl is called a peahen. I believe that we hear mostly about peacocks and generalize the term to mean all peafowl, a term we, by comparison, rarely hear. Also it is written as one word, which we then think peacock is the species name.
There are other instances when we often use the gender term of of a species with the name of the species. For instance, many people call all cattle, cows, when actually cow is the female cattle and bull is the male cattle. The terms cow and bull are used in numerous mammalian species to designate gender, not species, just as cock and hen are used in a number of species of birds.

Yes, the Indian Peafowl is endangered and the Green Peafowl is nearly, if not absolutely, extinct.
The peacock population is dwindling fast due to habitat loss, contamination of food sources and poaching. Ironically, until today no census has been conducted of the peacock. Non-feasibility has been cited as the only reason. The sole stock-taking of the peacock population in India was done by WWF India in 1991. It revealed that India was left with only 50 per cent of the total peacock population that existed at the time of Partition in 1947. While the green peacock is already believed to be extinct, the peacock may soon end up on the critically endangered list.
