Peacock Images

Peacocks are actually members of the pheasant family. The males, known for their large vibrant iridescent tails are called peacocks, while the female birds are known as peahens. Technically, when referring to these birds, they are called peafowl.

The beautiful tail feathers of the peacock are designed to attract peahens who chose their mates based upon the size, color and quantity of feathers.

Peacock feathers have been treasured throughout history and were often use in religious ceremonies or in fashionable head wear.
