A Male Peacock in Neighborhood - Nature 121

We saw a peacock, a male one, roaming around in our neighborhood when we are doing daily walking.

The male peacocks are recognized by their long feathers of tails, together with their colors to be attractive parts for mates.

GoogleID and Google AI Chatbot suggested that this peacock belongs to Indian peafowl, a native to Indian subcontinent.

It has a scientific name, Pavo cristatus. In addition to Indian peafowl, the fowl has another common name, called as a blue peacock, it is because of its vibrant blue and green plumage. This peacock is the most common and well-known peacock in the world.

Even though that not common to captive peacocks as a pet, some people do raise this bird as a pet.

Regulation to keep peacocks as pets are different from one area to other places in the USA.

However, we believe, the peacock we saw recently was a pet, the bird runs away from an owner.
