National Bird: Peacock

PeacockMale Bird of species Peacock cristatus, is a native of India, with striking plumage and upper tail converts marked with iridescent ocelli, able to expand its tail erect like fan as ostentatious display.

Peacocks are related to pheasants.

Found wild in India (and also domesticated in villages) they live in jungle lands near water.
