bangkok air Indian Blue Peacock (Bangkok, Thailand)

Pavo cristatus - The national bird of India.

The species is found in dry semi-desert grasslands, scrub and deciduous forests. It forages and nests on the ground, but roosts on top of trees. It eats seeds, insects, fruits, small mammals and reptiles.

They lay a clutch of 4-8 eggs, which take 28 days to hatch. The eggs are light brown and are laid every other day, usually in the afternoon. The male does not assist with the rearing, and is polygamous with up to six peahens (females).

The male peafowl are referred to as "peacocks".

Peahens are approximately 86cm (34 inches) long, and weigh between 2.75kg and 4kg (6-8.8 lbs), while males average at about 2.12 m (7.3 feet) in full breeding plumage, 107cm or 42 inches when not, and can weigh anything between 4 and 6 kilograms (8.8-13.2 lbs).

The Indian Peacock has iridescent blue-green plumage. The upper tail coverts on its back are elongated and ornate with a bright "eye" at the end of each feather, which inspired the Greek myth that Hera placed the hundred eyes of her slain giant Argus on the tail of her favorite bird.

Many of the brilliant colours of the peacock plumage are due to an optical interference phenomenon based on periodic nanostructures found in the fiber-like components of the feathers. Such interference-based structural colour is especially important in producing the peacock's iridescent hues (which shimmer and change with viewing angle), since interference effects depend upon the angle of light, unlike chemical pigments.

In regards to colour, peahens are much duller in comparison. It is mostly brown, with pale underparts and some green iridescence on the neck, and lacks the long upper tail feather coverts of the male.

The plumage of the peacock, and the peahen's preference for its exorbitance, is a classical example of sexual selection. However, in recent years, scientific research has shown that the size and brilliance of a male's plumage does not meaningfully correlate with his mating success nor his health, and that, instead, the key factor for attracting females is the vocalizations made prior to mating.
