๐Ÿฆš MORE ABOUT PEAFOWLS ๐Ÿฆš

๐ŸŒทWith its massive tail and iridescent colors, this bird has long fascinated its human observersโ€”and people are still learning its secrets.

๐ŸŒทFor example, a study recently published in The “๐”…๐”ฏ๐”ฆ๐”ฑ๐”ฆ๐”ฐ๐”ฅ ๐”๐”ฌ๐”ฒ๐”ฏ๐”ซ๐”ž๐”ฉ ๐”’๐”‰ ๐”„๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ช๐”ž๐”ฉ ๐”…๐”ข๐”ฅ๐”ž๐”ณ๐”ฆ๐”ฌ๐”ฒ๐”ฏ” 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.

๐ŸŒท Depending on whether they want to attract females from far away or up close, they can change the sound by shaking different parts of their feathers.

๐ŸŒทTheyโ€™re not the only animals that create infrasonic sounds. Elephants produce them with their vocal cords, most likely to communicate over long distances.

๐ŸŒท Here are a few other interesting facts about these impressive birds.

๐Ÿฆš 10 FACTS ABOUT PEAFOWLS ๐Ÿฆš

1๏ธโƒฃ Only the males are actually โ€œpeacocks.โ€
The collective term for these birds is โ€œpeafowl.โ€ The males are โ€œpeacocksโ€ and the females are โ€œpeahens.โ€ The babies are called โ€œpeachicks.โ€

2๏ธโƒฃ A family of peafowl is called a โ€œbevy.โ€
A group of the birds is also sometimes called an โ€œostentation,โ€ a โ€œmuster,โ€ or even a โ€œparty.โ€

3๏ธโƒฃ Theyโ€™re not born with their fancy tail feathers.
The male peachicks donโ€™t start growing their showy trains until about age three.

In fact, itโ€™s hard to tell the sex of a peachick because theyโ€™re nearly identical to their mothers.

At around six months, the males will begin to change color.

4๏ธโƒฃ They donโ€™t have to be killed for their feathers.
Luckily, the peacocks shed their train every year after mating season, so the feathers can be gathered and sold without the birds coming to any harm.

The average lifespan of a peacock in the wild is about 20 years.

5๏ธโƒฃ They can fly, despite their massive trains.

A peacockโ€™s tail feathers can reach up to six feet long and make up about 60 percent of its body length. Despite these odd proportions, the bird flies just fine, if not very far.

6๏ธโƒฃ There are all-white peafowl.

Thanks to selective breeding, itโ€™s common for captive peafowl to buck the iridescent trend for all white feathers.

This is called leucism, and itโ€™s due to a genetic mutation that causes loss of pigmentation.

These peafowl are often mistaken for being albino, but instead of having red eyes, animals with leucism retain their normal eye color.

7๏ธโƒฃ Peacocks were a delicacy in medieval times.

The birds were plucked, roasted and then re-dressed in their feathers to appear in their original live state on the dinner table.

๐ŸŒท Hereโ€™s the presentation instructions from one recipe:

โ€œwynde the skyn wit the fethurs and the taile abought the body, And serue him forthe as he were a-liveโ€

The birds may have looked beautiful, but they reportedly tasted terrible. โ€œIt was tough and coarse, and was criticized by physicians for being difficult to digest and for generating bad humors,โ€ writes ๐”๐”ข๐”ฉ๐”ฆ๐”ฑ๐”ฑ๐”ž ๐”š๐”ข๐”ฆ๐”ฐ๐”ฐ ๐”„๐”ก๐”ž๐”ช๐”ฐ๐”ฌ๐”ซ in her book ๐”‰๐”ฌ๐”ฌ๐”ก ๐”ฆ๐”ซ ๐”๐”ฆ๐”ก๐”ฆ๐”ข๐”ณ๐”ž๐”ฉ ๐”—๐”ฆ๐”ช๐”ข๐”ฐ

8๏ธโƒฃ They can fake it.
These birds arenโ€™t just nice to look at, theyโ€™re also clever, according to one recent study.

When peacocks mate with peahens, they give out a loud โ€œcopulatory call.โ€ Canadian researchers โ„œ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ฉ๐”ถ๐”ซ ๐”‡๐”ž๐”จ๐”ฆ๐”ซ ๐”๐”ฌ๐”ซ๐”ฑ๐”ค๐”ฌ๐”ช๐”ข๐”ฏ๐”ฆ๐”ข discovered that the birds can โ€œfakeโ€ this call to attract more females.

๐ŸŒทAs the ๐”…๐”…โ„ญ’๐”ฐ ๐”ˆ๐”ฉ๐”ฉ๐”ž ๐”‡๐”ž๐”ณ๐”ฆ๐”ข๐”ฐ put it, โ€œBy pretending they are mating when they are not, the birds could convince females they are more sexually activeโ€”and therefore genetically fitterโ€”than their rivals.โ€

In fact, one-third of the calls heard by researchers were fake, and the birds that made them scored the most hookup

  1. They can fake it.
    These birds arenโ€™t just nice to look at, theyโ€™re also clever, according to one recent study.

When peacocks mate with peahens, they give out a loud โ€œcopulatory call.โ€ Canadian researchers Roslyn Dakin and Robert Montgomerie discovered that the birds can โ€œfakeโ€ this call to attract more females. As the BBCโ€™s Ella Davies put it, โ€œBy pretending they are mating when they are not, the birds could convince females they are more sexually activeโ€”and therefore genetically fitterโ€”than their rivals.โ€

In fact, one-third of the calls heard by researchers were fake, and the birds that made them scored the most hookups.
Sneaky, sneaky.

9๏ธโƒฃ Their feathers are covered in tiny crystal-like structures.

What makes the peacockโ€™s feathers so brilliant? Microscopic โ€œcrystal-like structuresโ€ that reflect different wavelengths of light depending on how theyโ€™re spaced, resulting in bright fluorescent colors.

Hummingbirds and shimmering butterflies have mastered a similar visual effect on their own wings.

๐Ÿ”Ÿ A peacock’s crest acts as a sensor for mating
A female peacock has special sensors in her crest that allow her to feel the vibrations of mate who may be located far away.

According to ๐”—๐”ฅ๐”ข ๐”„๐”ฑ๐”ฉ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”ฑ๐”ฆ๐” , the feathers are “tuned to vibrate at the exact same frequencies at which a displaying peacock rattles his tail.”

Whenever a male peacock fans his tail, he shakes it at a rate of 26 times a second, creating a pressure-wave that literally rattles the female’s head for attention.

DID YOU KNOW

Early Christian mosaics and paintings usually portray peacocks as the โ€œeyesโ€ where their tail plumage represented the Church or the all-seeing God. In primitive Persia, peacocks were allied with the Tree of Life.
