Both male and female Peafowl have crests on top of their heads which are also present on the Green Peafowl species. Female Peafowl lack the bright colours of the male and have a more duller appearance which is common in many other bird species. The male Indian Peacock has iridescent colouring of blue and green on its head, neck and breast.
I breed PEACOCKS, PHEASANTS, OSTRICH, PARROTS, FANCY PIGEONS AND FANCY CHICKEN, We sell eggs, chicks and mature birds. We got a female peacock and after she lied her eggs it is now 4 days she didn't want to eat. We have rescued a young Indian blue peacock male & looking for company of a female.
Peacocks change their plumage once a year and you can get about 150 to 200 feathers from and adult bird every year. Peacocks are very beautiful and their feathers attract almost all types of people. The Indian and Burmese peacocks are considered as the most beautiful birds.
People raise various types of birds for the purpose of producing meat, eggs, and also for their beauty. L never knew it's only the male peacocks that have this beautiful feathers." Peacocks are also found in forests and dense foliage particularly during the breeding season when the female peacocks are trying to incubate their eggs and rear their chicks without any unwelcome predators spotting them.
When the male peacock does not have his brightly coloured and very elaborate tail feathers on display, they drag behind him. The male is peacock is generally about twice the size of the female peahen, and even larger when the male peacock is displaying his plumage (feathers). Male peacocks are known as peacocks and female peacocks are known as peahens (in a similar way to chickens and pheasants).
The male peacock is most well known for it's enormous tail feathers that fan out behind the peacock and can be nearly two meters in length. Long tail feathers and colourful tail of males. Re: mesorah-man You are correct that there have been some Jewish communities that seem to have eaten peacock in the past (for example, the peacock was one of 30 birds pictured in a 150-year-old Italian book on kosher poultry), However, in halachik literature there are apparently two species that were called peacock (or to be more accurate, their equivalent), furthermore, there isn't anyone alive today who can actually testify about a tradition about the peacock, in light of all this, no kashrus organization will certify peacock as kosher.
Peacocks (peafowls) are vegetarian in nature, as are nearly all of the birds mentioned earlier. Peafowl are omnivores and eat mostly plant parts, flower petals, seed heads, insects and other arthropods , reptiles , and amphibians Wild peafowl look for their food scratching around in leaf litter either early in the morning or at dusk. In the peacock species, males congregate a communal display during breeding season and the peahens observe.
Merle Jacobs' food-courtship theory states that peahens are attracted to peacocks for the resemblance of their eye spots to blue berries.

King of the Peacocks
The first provings of Eagle took place barely a decade ago but since then some three dozen birds have been proved, some of them very extensively. Provers 2, 3 and 11 were male and the rest female. The peacock feather used was purchased in one of the shops around the great Stupa at Bodhnath.
Shariputra was the King of Benares and I Buddha was the King of the Peacocks. The the King of the Peacocks said: Shame on you. But the more poison she gave him and the more fatal was that poison the King of the Peacocks became healthier and his plumage glossier and more resplendent.
She realised that the King of the Peacocks knew what she had done and she decided she must silence him lest he told the King. Everyday the King of Benares made offerings of fruit and flowers to the King of the Peacocks but one day he was called away and he asked the Queen to make these daily offerings to the King of the Peacocks, which she did. Then the King of the Peacocks was presented to the beautiful Queen.
The King of the Peacocks uttered a cry that the whole army heard with wonder and the King of Benares prostrated himself and made offerings to the King of the Peacocks. There he was met by the King of the Peacocks in a chariot decked with seven types of precious stone. The hunters and fowlers returned to Benares and told him what the King of the Peacocks had said.
The King of the Peacocks told them that he could not be taken by traps and nets. The King of the Peacocks took pity on them and appeared to them to ask why they lingered and did not return home when they were cold and hungry. So he sent for his best hunters and fowlers and told them to go to the southern slopes of Mount Kailash and to bring back the King of the Peacocks.
The Queen then asked that the King bring the King of the Peacocks to her. Though I have never seen him I have heard that he is the grandest and most splendid of all peacocks and that his body gleams and his beak is like a jewel. He replied that on the southern slopes of the sacred Mount Kailash lived the King of the Peacocks where he ruled over a flock of five hundred followers.
In Western alchemy the many colours of the Cauda Pavonis, the Peacock's Tail, represent the stage of the work in which the poisons released in the previous stage the black corruption of the Nigredo are absorbed and transformed leaving the pure whiteness of the Albedo which then becomes the material for the final stages of the work. The very nature of the peacock is such that it can actually consume poison, and thrives on it; hence it does not have to transform the poison, but eats it directly.

About Peacocks
In ancient times, Phoenicians imported peacocks to Egypt to be used as decoration. During Medieval times, peacocks were roasted and re-dressed before serving on the dinner table of nobles and royalty.
The other two species only have a few sets of feathers. Despite their massive tail, peacocks can fly but they cannot swim. According to Feng Shui, a peacock's feathers safeguard a person from disaster.
Once mating is done, peahens will create a nest for their eggs. Peahens choose a peacock based on its size, color and quantity of tail trains. Some studies have shown that peacocks can fake a copulatory call in order to attract more peahens.
The main purpose a peacock's colorful tail trail is to attract peahens for mating. In times of danger and mating, peacocks make distinct sounds as well. Peacocks can fly limited distances, especially with their heavy tail.
Peacocks in the wild can live for up to 20 years. Compared to peacocks, peahens mature earlier and can mate at the age of one. Newly hatched peachicks will stay with their mothers for months, learning how to eat, groom their feathers and communicate with other peafowl.
Their beautiful tail feathers shed after mating season. A peacock's head is crested with feathers creating a crown-like appearance. Their female counterparts are called peahens, and their babies are called peachicks.
It is seriously important for peacock to drink water many times during the day, especially after feeding and before roosting on three branches. Pet foods such as cat or dog food are not recommended as the only diet for peacocks, but should be used in conjunction with fresh or dried fruits, vegetables, and grains. Baby peacocks (called peachicks) will like to follow what their parents do. Their parents will teach them to hunt or forage for food.
But it will be different for domestic peacocks that are used to being fed with poultry feed. But again, what do peacocks eat depend on some factors. When raised in captivity, the domestic peacock are often feed a commercial bird and poultry feed.
Naturally, in their native habitat, peacocks consume an omnivorous diet composed of both animals, insects and vegetation. Peacocks are opportunistic eaters that can eat everything they found. When it comes to the food requirements, the wild and the domesticated peacock probably have some differences.
Peacocks were a delicacy in medieval times. Thanks to selective breeding, it's common for captive peafowl to buck the iridescent trend for all white feathers. They're not born with their fancy tail feathers.
A group of the birds is also sometimes called an ostentation, a muster, or even a party. For example, a study recently published in The British Journal of Animal Behaviour says that when a peacock fans its ornamented train for the ladies during mating season, its feathers quiver, emitting a low-frequency sound inaudible to human ears.

Watch the Peacocks
Peacocks returned to the property in 2009, a gift from Col. 'Connor's mother Regina gave away many of the peacocks, donating the ostentation to a monastery, a state park, and a nearby hospice. I have tried imagining that the single peacock I see before me is the only one I have, but then one comes to join him; another flies off the roof; four or five crash out of the crepe-myrtle hedge; from the pond one screams and from the barn I hear the dairyman denouncing another that has got into the cow-feed, Connor wrote.
Andalusia, then a working dairy farm crowded by cattle and farmhands, was soon dotted by dozens of peacocks. 'Connor had always been entranced by birds. At the beginning of 2015 the aviary at the Milledgeville, Georgia dairy farm where Flannery 'Connor wrote and lived out the end of her short life, the aviary on the side of Andalusia sheltered three shimmering birds, all named after characters in 'Connor's short stories from a public poll.
The peacocks of Andalusia have had a brutal year. If one sees himself trying to eat the pages of the holy Book but is unable to do so in a dream, it means that he tries to memorize the Holy Quran from time to time but keeps forgetting what he learns. Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden and eat from whence ye will, but come not nigh this tree lest ye become wrongdoers. Green figs in winter symbolize rain, black figs cold.
If a bird is huge it symbolizes an Arab gentleman; a peacock represents a non-Arab gentleman. Slaughtering with a knife: Will eat a slaughtered bird or animal. A man whose wife is pregnant dreaming of having a knife: She will safely deliver a child, whether male or female depending on other signs in the dream.
Saturn Dream Explanation — The planet Saturn in a dream also represents a person who lives in the wilderness and mixes with wildlife, buffalos, dears, peacock, francolin, parrots, or any beautiful looking animal, or it could represent a caterpillar, silk, or a stripped fabric denoting an architect, or a caller to prayers, or any courteous employee who willingly and wholeheartedly serves others. If one sees himself satiated with food and could not eat any more in a dream, it means changing of his condition, losing rank, losing business, or his death. Seeing a peahen: A reference to a non-Muslim foreign lady jinxed but pretty and rich inasmuch as the peahen's color and feathers seemed beautiful.
But dreaming of a peacock sometimes gives rise to opposing interpretations. Peacock Dream Explanation — The peacock symbolizes smiling people, sight of whom in the morning with their good mood is a nice augury. Plucking some feathers from a peahen: Will obtain money from a woman or because of her.
