It was fun to watch the peacocks displaying while in India’s national parks. Although I was impressed, none of the peahens seemed to be, as they went about their business plucking insects and seeds from the ground. Eventually the peacocks would give up and continue foraging themselves. Just so we’re all clear, the male is the peacock, the female is the peahen, and both are peafowl.
That is amazing! The Peahens just ignored the Peacocks because they know that once the Peacocks father the children, they will just go out and try to impress younger Peahens.

magnificent! I could stare at this picture all day & see something new in it every moment! Thank you!
Wow ! What a display –
Approved.
If I was a peahen I would be impressed.
I think Patti is right!
Either way, this shot is unreal.
Awesome shot.
Thanks MIke.
Beautiful photo of a beautiful bird! I enjoy the peacocks at Magnolia Gardens in SC and take photos when I am there. They even have a peacock cafe!
