female peacock with chicks2 - Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus)


The Indian peafowl or blue peafowl (Pavo cristatus), a large and brightly coloured bird, is a species of peafowl native to South Asia, but introduced in many other parts of the world. The male, or peacock, is predominantly blue with a fan-like crest of spatula-tipped wire-like feathers and is best known for the long train made up of elongated upper-tail covert feathers which bear colourful eyespots. These stiff feathers are raised into a fan and quivered in a display during courtship.

I think it's confusing to people who are not "animal literate"
to labels these as female peacock-peahen. Let's say they are
either Female peafowl or they are Peahens.
