Description
The male (peacock) of this species is a large bird of up to 64–70 cm (25–28 in) in length. Though much less impressive than its Asiatic cousins, the male's feathers are nevertheless deep blue with a metallic green and violet tinge. It has bare red neck skin, grey feet, and a black tail with fourteen tail feathers. Its crown is adorned with vertical white elongated hair-like feathers. The female measures up to 60–63 centimetres (24–25 in) in length and is generally a chestnut brown bird with a black abdomen, metallic green back, and a short chestnut brown crest. Both sexes resemble immature Asian peafowl, with early stuffed birds being erroneously classified as such before they were officially designated as members of a unique species.

Sa crête est très "punk", mais il a de jolies couleurs, très beau portrait, Mo!
Merci JC, il est moderne
Wonderful picture :)
Thank you very much
Jean_c said what I was about to say. The punk feather style is real funny. To attract the females, maybe? Keep up the good work! :-)
