Peacocks and Peahens

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.

Peacocks adapt to their environment by opening and closing their tails. This enables them to scare of predators. Their tails also help them to find a mate.

Peacocks attract mates through elaborate courtship displays, primarily during the breeding season. Males fan out their vibrant, iridescent tail feathers, also known as a train, and perform intricate dances to showcase their plumage and physical fitness. Female peafowl, or peahens, assess these displays to choose a mate based on the quality and size of the feathers, which indicate genetic health. Successful mating often leads to the formation of temporary pair bonds for the breeding season.

That frightens away potential predators by appearing to be a larger animal. Some species of potential predators have a different type of vision which focuses more on shiny areas of another animal, like the eyes. This particular pattern is quickly recognized by them and so protects the peacock from them. This is all the incredibly brillian design of God !!

A coop for two peacocks should ideally be at least 100 square feet to provide ample space for them to move around, exercise, and establish their territory. It's important to ensure the coop has good ventilation, protection from the weather, and secure fencing to keep them safe from predators. Additionally, the coop should have perches and areas for them to display their feathers, as this is an important behavior for peacocks. Providing outdoor access to a secure run is also beneficial for their well-being.

Peacock spiders, belonging to the genus Maratus, are tiny arachnids typically weighing only a fraction of a gram, often around 1 to 2 milligrams. Their small size and lightweight nature allow them to perform agile movements and elaborate courtship displays. Despite their minuscule weight, they are known for their striking colors and intricate mating dances.

After Nader Shah was assassinated in 1747, the original Peacock Throne was stolen by the British in the chaos that ensued and shipped to South Africa, however, enroute, the ship sank and bits and pieces of the throne were rescued. Rumors were generated claiming that the throne was given to the Ottoman Sultan

Yes! Peafowl are omnivorous and eat most plant parts, flower petals, seed heads, insects and other arthropods, reptiles, and amphibians.

In common with other members of the Galliformes, males possess metatarsal spurs or "thorns" used primarily during intraspecific fights.

I don't think you can easily predict which eggs are fertile until they hatch. There is a way to 'candle' them and look for signs of life but I was never able to do it. I kept my pair together and they hatched 3 chicks successfully after a year. There are often a couple that don't make it.

The trick is to make a nesting box for the female. Make a 12"X12" frame 4 inches high out of wood and set it on the ground in a corner. If you notice the hen laying on her side and digging with her feet, that's what she's trying to do; make a nest. Sometimes it helps to put some hay-about 2 inches-in the box. I usually collected any recent eggs laying around and put them in the nesting box once she set.

I was never able to get them to hatch using an incubator but that's just me. It's best to let the hen sit on the eggs. If she leaves the nest for an extended period of time she'll cover them with dirt or straw first.

The term embodied cootgniin is not precise. Here are at least 3 different interpretations of its meaning:1. That the concepts we use to make sense of the world are furnished by the fact that we have bodies that have spatial extension, that move in a particular direction, that have eyes at the top and toes at the bottom, etc. (e.g., Lakoff and Johnson)2. That the multiple realizability' thesis (a partner of the functionalist understanding of cognitive processes) is not right because the physical (bodily) structures that interact with the world tightly constrain the kinds of cootgniin that can occur within that body.3. That cootgniin doesn't happen only in the brain, but that the entire body as a dynamical system engages with its environment in a tightly coupled exchange of energy, with the body itself providing the weight in a causally asymmetrical relationship between organism and environment. This is roughly the autopoietic approach pioneered by Maturana and Varela. As for the question re: #3 What is "self driven"? And in this "circular causation" presumably there is an initial input not caused by the "self" or some other unmoved mover? The organism as an autopoietic unity begins (e.g., in humans) in utero, and this system is in constant coupling with whatever environment it can sustain itself in from that time forward. So no, there are no initial inputs as such, except perhaps for that first whatever it is that sets the whole system in motion on a cellular level.

Look the answers people are giving to real questions of interest: most answers are not fitting. It's becoming clear in my life's experience that Americans are some of the most-childish and anti-intellect, anti-education people in the world. It's very discouraging, but hey . . . let's go see if there is some sort of a baseball or football game on!Type your answer here...

Technically, a peacock can't get pregnant. The female of the species is a peahen. A peahen's gestation period is 28 days.

The peacock got its name from Old English. It comes from the Latin word pavo which literally means peacock. A male is a peacock while a female is a peahen. But the term peacock is used today to describe either one.
