Temple peacock silhouette, DNP

The National bird of India with its flowing train is a sight to behold. The train of feathers which are spatula shaped in the tip and has a colorful eye is used to attract the female during courtship. An elaborate ritual of fanning of the train and a display to accompany with to attract the female. Whilst the male has the long train female – peahen lacks it. They feed on wild berries and seeds and also prey on snakes, lizards and rodents at times. The peacock here is sitting on top of a temple structure and is silhouetted against the sun. These are classified as least concern by IUCN.
