Phoenix The Peacock-5 inch

Peacocks are one of the most vibrant and majestic birds, especially known for the striking beauty of the male's iridescent tail feathers, which fan out in a dazzling display. The "peacock" actually refers specifically to the male of the species, while females are called "peahens," and both together are known as "peafowl." These birds are native to South Asia but are now found worldwide in various settings, from wild habitats to parks and zoos.

The tail feathers, or "train," make up about 60% of a male peacock's body length and are marked with beautiful "eye" patterns. These displays aren't just for show; they're part of the peacock's mating ritual, intended to attract females. Interestingly, peacocks also symbolize immortality, beauty, and vision in various cultures.

In terms of personality, peacocks can be surprisingly assertive, sometimes even loud! They have a distinct, loud call and are very territorial. In spiritual contexts, peacocks are often associated with openness and self-expression, qualities their magnificent displays naturally embody.
