Fun Facts

• The peacock’s most prevalent mating ritual is the presentation of its train. Males spread their tails in a fan form and strut back and forth, making a rattling noise with their feathers. This catches the peahen’s attention, and then she is free to choose her preferred male.
• After mating, the peahen will lay a clutch of 3-6 eggs.
• Peafowl love to spend time in bushes and forested areas where they mat hide from huge predators and have trees in which they can roost
• Peafowl tend to shed their feathers naturally in a process called “molting”. The shedding process begins every year after mating season, between February and August.
